This goes back to 1998 when the Labour Court linked community employment scheme supervisors with managers in community training workshops. FÁS set aside €2.75 million to pay towards pensions. Most companies that run CE schemes just about have the resources to provide the budgets to run them and, therefore, pension schemes do not happen. I welcome the fact that the Minister is about to re-establish the working group within his Department but given many of the supervisors are approaching retirement age, urgency is needed to address the matter.
