Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

Following the amalgamation of FÁS into the Department in 2012 the statistics from that time onwards are more readily available and the reply, as discussed with the Deputy’s office, is in respect of community employment (CE) schemes funded in the relevant areas during this time.

There are currently a total of 36 (CE) schemes in Dublin 2, 4, 6, 6W & 8 postal codes, with an allocation of 1491 CE places including funded supervisory positions. In recent years there has been a focus, in the interest of enhanced efficiency, on amalgamating sub-schemes and consolidation of others where multiple schemes may have been associated with one sponsor for historical or geographical reasons. Accordingly the numbers of projects on a year-to-year basis may vary as these processes take place.

Numbers on some schemes may also vary within any given year on schemes and the Department liaises at local level with the projects on an ongoing basis, and may grant temporary additional places if there was a particular short-term need for them. If this need becomes more permanent and places are filled on a consistent basis, and if the overall budgetary figures allow, the places are granted to schemes on a more permanent basis. Expenditure will also fluctuate depending on the number of places on schemes at any one time, the type of allowance of the participant, i.e. single allowance or those with a family, the level and cost of training, and the materials budget of each scheme.

In addition, there are five job initiative (JI) schemes in the relevant areas and figures in respect of these are included. There are also three jobs clubs in these areas which cater for in the region of over 400 clients each annually. Below is a breakdown of the contracted numbers of employees per year and the projected contracted budget for each project:
