123 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Social Welfare the number of persons employed under the students job scheme in 1993 and 1994. [1962/94]
The students' summer jobs scheme which I introduced for the first time last year proved to be a major success again this year. The students who participated in the scheme are gaining valuable work experience and an income during the summer holidays and their local communities are reaping the benefit of the work which they have carried out. Much of the community work undertaken could not have been done without the benefit of the scheme.
