Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 July 2004
470 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he has introduced an alternative to the summer jobs scheme for students who are available to work, but are unable to find work during their summer holidays; if he will outline these changes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20564/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I have outlined to the House on a number of occasions, a replacement scheme for the student summer jobs scheme was never proposed. Rather it was anticipated that partnerships and community groups throughout the country would offer practical assistance and supports to students from disadvantaged areas in finding temporary summer employment in the labour market as required.
