I propose to take Questions Nos. 645 to 649, inclusive, together.

Officials in my Department have finalised the report on the impact of the reduced rates of jobseekers payments for young people which was submitted to my office on 25th November. I am examining the report and I intend to publish it and make it available to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Employment Affairs and Social Protection as early as possible.

I trust this information is useful for the Deputy.
