Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 October 2018
239. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of young persons under 25 years of age that have been supported to date by the JobsPlus youth scheme, by county, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40493/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraJobsPlus provides a direct monthly financial incentive to employers who recruit employees from the Live Register and those transitioning into employment. It provides employers with two levels of payment - €7,500 or €10,000 over two years - paid in monthly instalments provided the employment is maintained.
Some 3,330 persons under 25 years of age have been supported to date by the JobsPlus youth scheme and a county breakdown is provided in the following table.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
