Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the reference to flexibility in the context of Tús and community employment. That can be a win-win, given that many voluntary schemes are struggling to find participants. Perhaps the Minister of State should look at partnership companies specifically. In my area on the north side of Dublin, they are trying to deliver services to support families, but they are very overstretched. As they have that infrastructure and experience, this might be a resource that could effectively channel money from the Government into programmes.
