Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

This will be operated through the national employment action plan. As I pointed out to Deputy Shortall, it is intended to introduce sanctions provided for in law on 1 January 2011 to give teeth to the national employment action plan. When the scheme is introduced - I have explained this in detail previously - the names of those willing to participate and co-operate with the national employment action plan will be put on a register for employment on the scheme. Obviously, those who do not participate in the national employment action plan, which is an integral part of our approach, will be subject to sanctions. That is the way it should be.
