Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
582. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of persons by county currently on employment schemes (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20113/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department offers a wide range of employment initiatives including Community Employment (CE) and Tús which provide income support and activation supports catering for long-term unemployed jobseekers and those most distant from the labour market.
The number of participants, by county, for these schemes at the end of March 2017 is presented in a tabular form.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
