Ms Geraldine Hurley:

We appreciate the value of the work CE schemes do for the benefit of participants and, obviously, the services. Much of the work we do with schemes relates to that and identifying people it would suit. As regards those who, on completion of Tús, still find progressing onto open labour market opportunities to be a challenge and need further support, I go back to my earlier point that CE is an option for them. The other supports that can be provided through Intreo services and our general employment supports are also available to them. There are wider supports available to those people on completion of Tús.
