Mr. Terry Corcoran:

Given that the question was asked three times, I will address the take-up of programmes. The figure hoped for last year in the Gateway scheme was 500, but what was achieved was somewhat lower than that. Gateway is not solely for young people. It was a temporary employment programme through local authorities with a target of approximately 2,000 participants. It was slow in taking off but it achieved its targets by the beginning of this year. This year we expect the youth element of it to be at the higher level planned rather than the low level achieved last year.
