Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2010
270 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 164 and 165 of 31 March 2010, if he will provide a breakdown of the number of participants by county and by activity. [16744/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are currently 2,600 participant places available under the Rural Social Scheme (RSS). All available places have been allocated and quotas have been assigned to each of the Implementing Bodies who manage the Scheme on my Department's behalf throughout the country. There are eight work measures under which participants under the RSS can undertake activities in their local communities. The Deputy will appreciate that the number of participants on the Scheme varies from week to week and the work undertaken in each county depends on the number of available participants and the specific needs within each community.
The table below sets out the number of participants on the Scheme per county for week ending 23rd April 2010 and the number of participants assigned under each work measure.
