People generally have found their experience of the social welfare office, once they are in receipt of payment, to be a positive one. The social welfare office does not take benefit from recipients unless there is good evidence to show that they no longer deserve it. When one considers the national employment action plan under which people are called to FÁS for interview with a view to guiding them onto various courses or jobs, a third of them do not turn up. They do not turn up for interview and suddenly they are taken off payment and off the live register. If nothing else, that is a good control measure. Therefore, calling people in and asking them what they are doing to better their prospects of a job is in the best interests of the client and also in the best interests of clamping down on fraud. I have forgotten the question Senator McCarthy asked.
