Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

JobBridge and the Youth Guarantee: National Youth Council, Ballymun Jobs Centre and Department of Social Protection

1:00 pm

Mr. Mick Creedon:

Not necessarily. What we would need to do is reduce the ratio. That means we might not be able to deal with as many clients in a particular year as we would have previously. Currently, 60 new clients a week are being referred by the Department. If that was reduced to, say, 40, we could spend more time with that 40.
