The Youth Employment Services Scheme and the Youth Employment Enterprise Scheme will be administered by the proposed Youth Employment Agency, under the aegis of the Minister for Labour. The Bill to establish the agency was introduced in the Dáil on 12 November 1981. While a number of inquiries have been received by my office, no applications have yet been received. It is hoped that the Youth Employment Agency will be in a position to invite applications under these schemes in the near future.
