Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

Deputy Cowen referred to people on FETAC courses and I visited the community employment scheme in Bluebell to which Deputy Ó Snodaigh referred. I am very confident that good community employment schemes with quality services and quality outcomes for participants will benefit from the review. The key point is the outcome for people as well as the services to the community and value for money. We will have very good progress in each of those areas.
