I can? I will get an answer.

The Tús scheme is a 12-month programme in which people from the live register are picked at random to participate. Their skills are matched to work that would benefit them, and if they have a particular preference they get an opportunity to work in that area. The matching process has not been the greatest. People are pushed into jobs for which they are neither suitable nor capable, be it physically or mentally or for one or the other reason. I wonder how that scheme is evaluated. A proposal to extend the Tús scheme for a second year was discussed. Has there been any development on that proposal?
