Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
There is a weekly figure. For jobseeker's allowance, what I have available to me is a gross figure rather than a net figure. The gross fraud and error amount is about €937 per claim per week, implying a weekly amount of fraud or error in the population of €2.998 million within a confidence level.
