Jonathan O'Brien: They get €1,165 for getting to 12 months and they get €613 for getting to 13 weeks. Mr. McKeon said we do not really have any detailed data on why there is such a drop-off; before 13 weeks, it is approximately 40%. Is it possible to get that? Is that something the Department should be getting?
