Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2019
544. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason her Department is delaying a person (details supplied) from taking up a community employment scheme position in a company; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10414/19]
View answerThere was no delay in processing the Community Employment (CE) position for the person concerned. The (CE) eligibility form was received by CE Unit on the 6th February 2019 and the person concerned commenced CE on the 4th March 2019.
The average timeframe for processing a CE application from receipt of eligibility form from the CE project to a customer commencing a scheme is 15 working days. However, this is dependent on forms being received on / before Wednesday in any given week with forms received on Thursdays and Fridays pushing processing times out by a further week.
I trust this clarifies matters for the deputy.
