According to the JobsIreland website (where all Community Employment (CE) vacancies are advertised), there are approximately 1,500 CE posts vacant on Monday, 26 March 2018. This number is a snapshot in time and will change from day-to-day as places are filled and new vacancies arise as participants exit the programme.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
