Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

Yes, it did. It is basically to add to the Department's ability to provide employment services. A contract called JobPath was signed by the Government. There are two providers. It is based around the regions of the country in which the Department operates and there are two providers in two regions, Seetec and Turas Nua.
