Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion
10:30 am
Mr. John Conlon:
We are committed to working with our LES partners and do so. JobPath did not start until 2015. The numbers on the register before then, particularly in respect of unemployment, were quite high, so there was a lot of pressure on the LES. We therefore took some pressure off the LES by reducing the client-case officer ratio, but this was to reflect the huge volume we had and to allow it to work more intensively with what we were giving it.
