My Department has not commissioned any polling of the general public for the period in question.

As part of our ongoing commitment to customer service and quality assurance, a number of customer satisfaction surveys were conducted during this period and for these an external agency was engaged. The details of the surveys carried out for the period 1 January 2021 to date are as follows:

- Between November 2021 and January 2022 my Department commissioned a customer survey targeted at customers of Jobseekers and JobPath. This was a telephone survey and the cost of this survey was €72,324.

- During 2021 my Department carried out 3 surveys targeted at employers. These were telephone surveys on employer services awareness and usage. The cost of each of these surveys was €14,231.10, with a total cost for the three surveys of €42,693.30.
