The Deputy will be aware that my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has made a provision of €20 million in Budget 2012 for a new Labour Market Activation Fund. It is intended that this fund, which will be specifically targeted at the long-term unemployed, will deliver upward of 6,500 places next year.
