It is ironic that one of the reasons the BTEA scheme was initiated was to remove people from the dole queue. I make the point, through the direct case history to which I referred, that cutting the scheme will actually cost the Exchequer money. People will be dislodged from something positive, which would place them in a situation where they could contribute to the economy to a situation where they will be bored, depressed, feel useless and get stuck on a dole queue and the State will pay for it. There is not even a financial benefit in abolishing this scheme. I know we are in a period when there must be close monitoring of accounts, but the abolition of this scheme will have the opposite effect to that desired and will actually cost money overall. It may save money in one Department, but the debts will be transferred to another. Let us look at this matter in an honest manner.
