Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
337. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide an update on the Tús scheme; if she will further provide a breakdown of the number of participants on a county basis up to end of 2013 in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1315/14]
View answerThe Tús initiative currently provides work opportunities for those who are fully unemployed for 12 months or more. Overall responsibility for the Tús rests with the Department of Social Protection with day-to-day operations delivered by 50 local development companies and Údarás na Gaeltachta (implementing bodies). The sum of €119.6 million has been allocated for 2014 to maintain 7,500 placements and meet the costs of supervision and related costs. Table 1 gives a county breakdown of the participants employed on Tús at the end of December 2013. Table 2 gives details for the number of participant and supervisor employed to each Implementing Body at the end of December 2013.
