Mr. John McKeon:

No. Let me put it this way. People think that there are difficulties. I jotted down the numbers during the break. We have currently 256,000 people in receipt of income supports around the State. We have about 300,000 people on the employment wage subsidy scheme some of whom, unfortunately, will end up. Of the 256,000, about 170,000 of those are long-term unemployed. At a caseload for long-term unemployed, which is internationally recognised, of about 125:1, we probably need about 1,300 employment advisers. Between ourselves, the local employment services and JobPath at the moment we have about 1,000. There is more than enough work to go around. Under the Pathways to Work strategy, the Government has committed to extending the offer of employment services to lone parents on a voluntary basis, to people with disabilities and to qualified adults. There is more than enough work to go around. I do not think the volume of referrals will be a problem honestly.
