Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

All we know is that they have not engaged. We cannot get a response from them. It is very hard to get behind the figures. We have some information on their labour market status, which can be gleaned from Revenue and Department of Social Protection data. Of the 194 people in question - this information was compiled before we got the extra 28 people to engage - 98 were already employed and 62 were categorised as "other", which could mean they had emigrated or had retired. There could be other reasons. Five people were on programmes which do not fall within the ambit of the EGF and 29 people were unemployed. Obviously, we are really trying to influence and engage with those who are unemployed.
