Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2012
377 Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Social Protection the community employment status of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; if she will arrange for a representative of FÁS to contact the person to discuss their employment and training options; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5450/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person in question has participated on the Community Employment programme for 7 years, which is the maximum participation limit for a person of 55 years of age or over who is also in receipt of a disability-linked social welfare payment. She has therefore exhausted all of her eligibility to participate on the Community Employment programme. She can contact the Employment Services Office of the Department of Social Protection at their Bray office for explore any other options open to her with regards to training or employment.
