Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department, together with other Departments and agencies, is finalising the operational details for implementation of this recently announced initiative in this area. The Department is concerned to ensure the easy identification of the eligible spouses in order to facilitate their employment without undue formalities. I expect that the operational details will be finalised in a matter of weeks.
