185 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the response to the report on the document, The Effects of Cuts on Community Employment Schemes in Finglas, as launched by the Finglas Anti-Cuts Action Group recently. [11231/04]
View answerThe report in question outlines the very significant role which community employment, CE, plays in the provision of social services in the Finglas area and the success achieved to date in assisting local unemployed persons to take up mainstream jobs. In addition, this report lists a number of recommendations that the group would like to see implemented. The concerns of the Finglas Anti-Cuts Action Group and other sponsor organisations are being considered in the context of the overall review of CE and job initiative currently being undertaken by a group of senior officials and FÁS. The outcome of this review will inform any future adjustments in the structure and the terms and conditions of participation on community employment.
