Jobs resulting from Jobsearch
Kenny asks how many people Jobsearch has placed and whether it produced permanent jobs. Woods reports more than 5,000 people registered as employed, while Kenny disputes that these are permanent jobs.
Could the Minister indicate the numbers that have been placed to date on the Jobsearch scheme? Could he further indicate to the House whether one single permanent job has arisen out of Jobsearch investigations and interviews?

That is an entirely separate question. However, I can tell the Deputy over 5,000 actual jobs have come directly from the Jobsearch programme.

How long is any job permanent nowadays? Yours, Deputy, and mine might not even be permanent. We are getting into a useless argument. These are the people, over 5,000, registered as employed.
