Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 April 2017
341. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Social Protection when the proposed rules governing community employment schemes will be enforced in order that the period of assessment commences in January 2007 compared to April 2000 as it currently stands (details supplied). [16049/17]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, I brought a Memo to Government in March and obtained approval to publish my Department’s report on the review of Community Employment and the other work schemes and to progress the various changes that were recommended. I will be publishing the review report in the coming days.
My Department will be consulting with key stakeholders in the coming weeks about the new measures and they will be commenced shortly thereafter.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
