Will there be a review of JobPath because €322 million has been spent on it? If we take the figures just given by the Minister, 32,000 people are still active on it. That means that 318,488 people completed the programme and of that figure, 29,000 have a job that lasted a year. Those 318,488 people have finished, of which 29,000 have a job, so you are looking at a success rate of about 9% for €322 million of taxpayers' money. Surely that cannot be considered a success.
