Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion

10:30 am

Mr. John Conlon:

What we hear from the local employment service companies is about the quality rather than the number of clients. We are anxious for them to continue to work hard to place long-term unemployed people and to have an intensive engagement with them. That is the reason the ratios were reduced. We are committed to working with local employment service companies to continue to provide a flow of clients to them. If there are issues about the number of clients, we will work with them on that basis. What we hear about is not the number of clients, but the quality of the clients. I do not want to disrespectful of clients.
