Mr. John McKeon:
Three years. It is a multi-annual contract for three years. We are paying a higher amount of money. Previously, the contracts were valued at €23 million a year. They are now about €37 million a year. We are putting more money into it for a longer duration and sending them more clients. We have changed the balance. JobPath was an issue discussed previously. Deputy Catherine Murphy in particular was concerned about it. We have changed the balance around. In fact, there are more people now with local employment services than with what we call the national employment services. The feedback I got so far is that it has been well received.
