Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed)

10:30 am

Mr. Larry O'Neill:

That is not a concern right now but every area in the country has been impacted by a lack of referrals, particularly in respect of the two schemes under which the number of places will drop from 8,500 to 6,000. At a time a private contractor is taking 60,000 referrals per year, it does not take much logic to understand where the places are going. Some of the reductions are stark for the organisations dealing with them but there is no risk to the schemes per se.
