Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2012
566 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her Department has prepared any report accounting for the way in which the sums of money raised from the jobs initiative of May 2011 have been spent to date; if so, if she will provide full details of the the way in which this has been expended; and if she will advise the number of full and part-time jobs that have been created as a result of the initiative.

View answerThe Government's Jobs Initiative of May 2011 contained a number of significant proposals aimed at improving the economy`s international competitiveness and stimulating job creation. I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that given the operational remit of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, which encompasses a wide range of policy and service activity that is focussed on improving the lives of children and young people, my Department has not directly engaged in the preparation of a report accounting for the ways in which the sums of money raised from the Jobs Initiative has been spent to date.
