Community employment is a major issue in rural communities. Mr. McKeon previously mentioned some difficulty in terms of referrals. What steps are being taken to address this? Community employment is an important scheme for many of the communities with which I have constant engagement. Is there a plan in place to mitigate the issue that has been highlighted to the Department in recent months?
