Vol. 347 No. 6

Written Answers. - County Roscommon Employment and Training Schemes.

348.

asked the Minister for Labour the location and number of schemes approved for County Roscommon in 1983; the amount of money allocated to each scheme; and the number of jobs created as a result.

I assume the Deputy is referring to the training, employment and work experience schemes administered by my Department and its agencies. The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available as, with a few exceptions, moneys are allocated in respect of training, employment and work experience schemes on the basis of national programmes.
