Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2020
56. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Social Protection if she has received the report carried out by external consultants to review all current contracted public employment services; when the report will be published; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39994/20]
View answerI previously informed the House that I received the report for the external consultants which reviewed my Department's entire Public Employment Services provision. This report reviewed those services delivered directly by my Department particularly to the short term unemployed and all contracted public employment services which support those jobseekers who are long term unemployed. I have referred the report to the Labour Market Advisory Council and have asked the Council to examine the report, its recommendations and convey their views to me in due course.No decision on the timing of publication of the review has yet been made.
