Mr. Niall O'Donnellan:
It is in the order of 20% that would have gone under. We can give the Deputy some further detail on the matter. There was a Comptroller and Auditor General review of the programme two years ago. We can provide the Deputy with some data on that but it was in the order of about 20%. It was a significant success in terms of those companies surviving and some of them have come back with extra jobs, etc. Overall, it was a broad success. It was about sustaining the jobs through the crisis of 2008 to 2010.
