Brendan Howlin
Ceist:49 Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the grounds on which the basic pay rate for community employment participants has been reduced by €12.70 per week; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that this represents a reduction of 5.7% compared with the 4% general reduction in social welfare payments; her views on whether it is equitable that CE participants should be subjected to a higher reduction in rates than social welfare claimants; if she has instructed FÁS to make such reductions; the steps she will take to restore the relativity between social welfare claimants and CE participants; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
