There is not a set of guidelines. To answer the Senator’s later question, they already exist and I do not need to write them again. There is no guideline that states that someone comes in on day one, a progression plan is agreed and he or she goes home at 4 p.m. It is a flowing document. We are here as the services of the State in all our forms from the ILDN, Irish local development network, JobPath, jobs clubs, LES, local employment service, community employment, Tús, rural social scheme, Seetec and Turas Nua to help people get work or trained to be able to get work. It is only a service. There is nobody making people come and avail of jobseeker’s benefit.
