Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I am intrigued by the Minister's response, since I feel the scheme has evolved well beyond a simple labour market initiative and into an acknowledgement of important work. My question's basic thrust was whether the Minister would present a revised scheme retaining the labour market initiative component within his Department and finally acknowledging an important social employment, full-time work programme through the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. Is that the sort of project on which he is now working, and when will it be presented to the House?
