I propose to take Questions Nos. 717, 719 and 720 together.
To date, 1,336 unemployed people have taken up placements under the Work Placement Programme, 696 in the graduate stream and 638 in the non-Graduate Scheme.
The Number of private sector employers who have applied for and been approved for the FÁS Work Placement Programme to 31 December 2009 is 752.
The Number of public sector bodies who have applied for and been approved for the FÁS Work Placement Programme to 31 December 2009 is 153.
The number of placements on this programme continues to grow and efforts continue to maximise the number of placements for unemployed persons.
