Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Members will recall that I produced a chapter last year on JobPath but it did not address the value for money issue. I was aware, and did report, that the organisation was undertaking these exercises. We will look at those and perhaps come back to the committee in regard to them. They are very complex and it will take some time to examine the methodology, conclusions and robustness.

It might be something to examine when representatives from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection next appear before the committee.
