Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 96 and 97 together.
The pilot programme for the employment of people with disabilities is overseen by an Interdepartmental Monitoring Committee of the programme. The review of the pilot programme currently being carried out by the monitoring committee will be completed later this year. The review will examine the achievement of targets set for projects in the existing programme and will include recommendations for a new programme. In the event of a new programme, as in the case of the last programme, it will be a matter for the evaluation committee of the programme to recommend which projects should be funded.
