I will fly through my issues and Deputy MacSharry might even be able to get back in.
I wish to go back to the referrals and the job commencement figures. We are working off two sets of figures, the current figures and those from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. I am happy to work on the basis of the figures from the Comptroller and Auditor General report, which states that 15,731 of the 62,631 actually commenced a job of some duration. It refers to 15% sustained employment for at least 13 weeks, which comes to approximately 9,395. Does this mean that 6,336 did not make it to 13 weeks?
