Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 January 2014
211. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when his Department will introduce a scheme to allow jobseekers gain work experience with local authorities by helping cleansing departments and other departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2015/14]
View answerIssues concerning labour activation measures, including JobBridge and the Local Authority Labour Activation Scheme (Gateway), are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection. As labour activation placements in local authorities do not form part of the Employment Control Framework for local government, sanction by my Department for schemes of this nature is not required.
