Other Questions: Community Employment Schemes Supervisors (19 Oct 2016)

Dara Calleary: 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...

Other Questions: Expenditure Reviews (19 Oct 2016)

Dara Calleary: The Minister announced on the day of the budget that he was going to conduct a spending review in 2017. I want to tease that out with him. What will it involve? Is it a spending review or an efficiency review? What level of consultation will there be within the House, with organisations outside the House and with his colleagues in Cabinet?

[30937/16]

Other Questions: Community Employment Schemes Supervisors (19 Oct 2016)

Dara Calleary: The Minister is aware that I am a big fan of community employment schemes, but the success of a community employment scheme is utterly dependent on its supervisor. Since 1998, there has been an issue around pensions for supervisors. In the Labour Court in 2008, it was decided that community employment scheme supervisors should be given a pension. Many of them have worked for decades on...
