The projects referred to had not been approved by my Department when they commenced. The Social Employment Scheme Monitoring Committee had deferred consideration of these projects pending the outcome of discussions which are continuing, between the council and the trade unions concerned.
As regards moneys outstanding, Wexford County Council have been requested to provide statements of accounts in prospect of projects on which moneys are due. On receipt of the statements all outstanding moneys will be paid.
