Mr. John McKeon:

I can answer the question. JobPath is not a job creation scheme. It is not like IDA Ireland going out there creating schemes. The purpose of JobPath is to provide an employment advisory service to help them to compete for jobs that are there, so the appropriate metric is the cost of that advisory service per person. The cost is about €800. That compares very favourably with the cost of the local employment service, with our own local employment service and with community employment service. If the Deputy were to measure those on the same outcome of cost per job created, their figures would he higher again than the €11,000.
