I welcome our guests. I again put on the record our appreciation and thanks to all the staff in the Department of Social Protection, probably the Department that elected representatives have had the most interaction with since the onset of the pandemic. In almost every case the staff have been incredibly helpful even though they have been working under very stressful conditions. I reiterate our thanks and commendation on that.

I am trying to get a sense of the value for money of JobPath. What has the total net cost of JobPath been since the launch of the programme in 2015.
