Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

It has been active or live since 1 July. We have a few hundred. We know there is great interest in various efforts in areas throughout the country. As the Deputy is probably aware, we have employer engagement teams as part of the integrated service we now have in place. We have an employer engagement division. Specific people in each of our local divisions are responsible for engaging with employers. I will set out what we are doing at the moment in the context of the JobsPlus scheme. We are alerting employers to the availability of the scheme. We are encouraging dialogue about what the circumstances might be and what the reward is. We are certainly trying to ensure we hit the pilot target of 2,500 by the end of the year.
