148 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will review his decision to cut the student summer jobs scheme. [18059/03]
The students summer jobs scheme was first introduced in 1993 to provide income support for less well off students who were disqualified under social welfare legislation from receiving unemployment assistance during the summer months. The scheme allowed students to take up part-time work useful to their community and to receive payment for this work.
