Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 March 2017
165. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will address queries (details supplied) with regard to changes in CE schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12565/17]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, I brought a Memo to Government last week and obtained approval to publish my Department’s review report on Community Employment and the other work schemes and to progress the various changes that were recommended. I will be publishing the review report shortly.
As part of the roll-out of the new measures, my Department will be consulting with key stakeholders in the coming weeks and implementation of the new measures will be progressed thereafter.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
