Mr. John McKeon:
I ask the Deputy to send me the details of that case. It sounds very strange. The people who are referred to JobPath should be on the live register for at least 12 months. Most of them are on the register three years. If the person the Deputy mentioned has just received an accredited degree in nursing it does not sound as though he or she was on the live register for the past year or three years.
