Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

There is a multiplier that is available per 1,000 people on the live register. I suppose what I would say is that if we were looking at a budget kind of issue, the kind of cost per 1,000-ish on the live register is about €9 million or €10 million. However, because of the complexities of employment, people could be upping their hours or they could be moving from casual employment or they could be moving into casual employment and still retaining some benefits. It is hard to be absolute.
