I will come to it. The answer in my own case is that none of those ever happened in the Department of the Taoiseach. While two internships ended before their nine month completion, one was where an intern got permanent employment and the other for the participant's own reason.

The Department of Social Protection conducts random inspections of companies that participate in the JobBridge scheme. Those inspections show that 97% are very happy in what they do. However, 44 host organisations out of approximately 15,000 have been excluded from further use of the scheme. I have not published the names as it has been deemed inappropriate under the Freedom of Information Acts to release the names of companies that have been excluded from taking on JobBridge interns. As I said, 44 of 15,000 have been excluded. As in all cases in which a decision has been made not to release certain information following a freedom of information request, the requester is fully entitled to appeal that decision in accordance with the provisions of the legislation. I do not know the names of the 44 companies that have been excluded but anyone who writes in and is refused the information has the opportunity to appeal.
