142 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will have arrangements made for payment of family income supplements to employees on community employment schemes. [7408/96]
Family income supplement as currently structured and targeted is not an appropriate mechanism for improving the income of community employment workers. The level of allowances payable to community employment workers is a matter for the Department of Enterprise and Employment.
