Written answers

The Department of Justice and Equality has, during the specified period, operated paid internship programmes, paid and unpaid educational placements, and placements under the JobBridge scheme.

The Department is currently undertaking a major transformation programme and in light of this the Department is making further enquiries in respect of the Deputy's query. I will provide an update to the Deputy when further information is available.
