Seamus Brennan
Question:151 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the reason a person who has exhausted unemployment benefit after 15 months and has been signing for credits for a further period, is declared ineligible under the community employment scheme on the basis that the person is not receiving a social welfare payment; his views on whether a person in the circumstances described is a long-term unemployed person and should be officially classified as such; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
