Mr. Dermot Sheridan:

We tried to have a conversation about this with people who were coming off JobPath. The earlier a person can avail of a scheme the better. If members are aware of people looking to get on CE schemes, they should advise them to declare their interest early to a case officer. We can then get the wheels in motion so that they are not picked up for JobPath. The delay is a big issue for us and we ask community organisations to identify vacancies early and match their people quickly, lest they be picked up by JobPath.
