92. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 60 of 25 June 2015, the estimated additional cost to her Department of introducing 4,000 additional community employment scheme places in 2016. [27498/15]
View answerThe additional cost to the Department of introducing 4,000 additional Community Employment (CE) places in 2016 is estimated to be approximately €14m. This amount reflects the additional cost of €20 per week paid to participants over and above what they would receive while in receipt of a social welfare payment, in addition to supervisory costs, materials and training costs normally incurred on CE.
