I propose to take Questions Nos. 576 and 577 together.

Tús is delivered at local level by local development companies and by Údarás na Gaeltachta (in Gaeltacht areas). A standard service fee is paid by the Department to meet the additional costs of delivering Tús in each of the companies’ operational areas. This service fee is based on the number of placements the company has accepted to manage and has put in place and is designed to ensure that direct and indirect costs involved in the management and delivery of Tús are not borne by other publicly funded programmes operated by the companies. The service fee covers the costs of the company in respect of management, administration, compliance, selection, recruitment, support and training, placement, health and safety, personal protective clothing, supervision, materials/equipment/tools and related operational costs. The Department does not hold data in respect of each company’s expenditure on administration and queries in respect of this would require to be addressed to the individual implementing body.

Table 1 under provides details of the number of participants allocated to each company in 2011 and 2012 and the number of persons employed under Tús at the end of those years. The Government agreed to expand Tús from 5,000 to 7,500 participants in 2013. These changes are reflected in Table 2 under.

Table 2 below gives details of the fee paid to Implementing Bodies in 2011, 2012 and to the end of August 2013.
