In the budget the Minister announced significant cutbacks of two thirds in the materials and training grants for the 22,000 people on community employment schemes, targeting a saving of €36 million. However, as a result of the backlash against this measure, she announced a review which we understand has been completed for some considerable time. According to RTE, letters have been sent to some community employment providers informing them that their materials and training grants will be cut by between 30% and 40%. When will the review be published and why has it not yet been published?
