Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 July 2022
382. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide an update on the meeting arranged between her Department and the representatives of Tús and rural social scheme supervisors in order to progress their requests for improved terms and conditions; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38770/22]
View answerMy Department meets regularly with CE, Tús and RSS schemes, sponsors and representatives to discuss and consider ongoing operational issues. As part of this ongoing consultation and exchange of views, officials from my Department are meeting with Tús and rural social scheme supervisor union representatives today, Wednesday 13th July 2022.
As this meeting is taking place today, I am not in a position to provide any update on what took place at this specific meeting. Also as the Deputy is aware individual schemes, not the state, are the employers of persons working on these schemes.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
