Mr. John McKeon:

What we are trying to do with the regional employment services, as we call it now, is actually to secure and sustain the local community and social linkages. That is what we are trying to do. I know people are concerned about it. Any process of change, particularly when people have been in situfor 25 years, is always unsettling. What we are trying to do is secure exactly what the Deputy mentioned in terms of that local and community linkage. I am optimistic that we will do so. I point to the experience of the social inclusion and community activation programme, SICAP, where very similar concerns were expressed in 2014. We have shown what can be done. I think the experience in the first phase in Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim shows it can be done. We are taking the learnings on board.

The Deputy mentioned JobBridge; I think she meant JobPath.
