View answer165. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of participants on the rural social scheme broken down by county; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57743/12]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 164 and 165 together.
The rural social scheme currently provides work opportunities for around 2,600 participants and 130 supervisory staff. Overall responsibility for the RSS rests with the Department of Social Protection with responsibility for its day-to-day operations resting with 35 local development companies and Údarás na Gaeltachta which is responsible for delivery in Gaeltacht areas, collectively referred to as Implementing Bodies. €45m has provisionally been allocated for 2013, which will allow the scheme to continue along the same lines in 2013 as in previous years but does not allow for the recruitment above the numbers stated above.
The tables outline the breakdown of participants by Implementing Body and on a county basis.
