The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of persons that have availed of education, training and labour market activation programmes such as Tús and Gateway who were previously in receipt of the supplementary welfare allowance is not readily available in my Department. The Central Statistics Office publishes the number of persons who are participating on activation schemes monthly on their website.
The tabular statement details recipients of Jobseeker's Allowance and Jobseeker's Benefit whose claim ended due to having found work, broken down by the recipient’s age, broad nationality grouping, and length of time in continuous receipt of a social welfare payment prior to finding work. A further breakdown by sex is not given, due to the statistical disclosure risk associated with the small cell sizes which would result in some cases.
Number of persons whose Jobseekers Allowance or Jobseekers Benefit Claim was closed for the specified reason of having found work 1 January to 31 October 2016
