Andrew Boylan
Question:68 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Labour if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a single person on a social employment scheme has a take home pay of only £60.98 after deductions which is approximately £8 more than if he was in receipt of unemployment assistance; his views on whether there is no incentive for such young people to avail of these schemes; the measures he hopes to introduce in this Dáil term to improve the incomes of these young unemployed persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
