Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Labour Activation Measures: Discussion (Resumed)

10:00 am

Dr. John Sweeney:

It certainly is, probably among the Departments which administer these, such as Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government which has an Irish version of the social inclusion and community action programme, SICAP. It is interesting that it is only programmes and services for which the Department of Social Protection is responsible that our evaluations and input are required.
