Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 June 2012
432 Deputy Áine Collins asked the Minister for Social Protection if persons who are on a Tús scheme for 12 months will then have to become unemployed for 12 months before they qualify for a community employment scheme. [27421/12]
View answerThe purpose of Tús is to support the work-readiness of people who are unemployed for a year or more. At the end of May, some 4,330 participants and 225 supervisors have been engaged in the provision of services to their communities. Currently, the conditions for recruitment and entry to community employment do not provide that a person who has been engaged on a Tús work placement is eligible.
