I will turn to local employment services for a moment. The Department says that it has advice from the Attorney General. Deputy Carthy pursued this, and the matter of the advice having to be contracted out. Will the midlands and Laois and Offaly be grouped together as one or will another county be brought in with them? Will it be contracted out on a two or three county basis?
