Mairéad Farrell

Question:

657. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will provide the full list of organisations under the aegis of her Department which are involved in the community employment scheme supervisors, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54771/22]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

The Community Employment programme is delivered by locally based sponsor organisations across the country. In total, there are over 840 such companies involved in the delivery of the programme.

Officials from the Department are currently compiling the list of 840 Community Employment Sponsoring Organisations and will provide it at an early date under separate cover to the Deputy.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
