What about the cuts in the value of grants for those on community employment schemes? I am inundated with people contacting me about the reduction in the grant from €1,500 to €500 for a person on a community employment scheme. Lone parents and people with disabilities will be disincentivised from partaking in community employment schemes in the future because they cannot claim both payments. What are the people on the community employment schemes to do?
