Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Social Welfare Benefits: Discussion

Mr. Tony Kieran:

I have been meeting with some of the people who work to me and are out meeting with scheme participants. They are very aware of the work the supervisors do in getting people such as those to whom the Senator referred moving and back active in their communities, working on Tús or whatever. I am aware that we are making a big effort with the people who are leaving Tús and have had extensions already. We are making them aware of the opportunities and options in CE because we do have places available.

If there is further training and that is a progression for them, we will look at that. It could be in similar jobs and roles in their communities, as well.
