Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

One thing we are trying to do is to achieve a balance in this regard by not over-complicating the matter, while at the same time ensuring there is some support or security for participants. In the first instance, in applying for JobBridge employers are required to indicate what precisely they have in place and what they propose to provide by way of training and experience to the individual. We actually have a significant programme of inspection of employment. Moreover, we have ramped that up considerably in response to some of the suggestions in the media. As I stated, we are satisfied that for the vast majority of residents, it has been a very successful programme.
