Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 October 2019
480. Deputy Pat Casey asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of the interdepartmental review of community employment schemes; when the review is expected to be published; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40945/19]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Government agreed to establish an Interdepartmental Group (IDG) to explore how social inclusion schemes might be organised going forward.
A number of meetings of the IDG have taken place and a number of bilateral meetings with relevant Departments have also been undertaken. There was a consultative process with stakeholders and the associated submissions were considered as part of the wider deliberations. I expect to have the final report shortly.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
