Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: There are two issues. The econometric analysis is being finalised and I hope to have it in January but the preliminary findings are looking good and that is the report, alongside the position on our projected targets, that will determine what we will need going forward. I do not know right now what the needs of those 127,000 people who are full-time unemployed, as announced this morning by...

Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: They will of course. I apologise because I have so many reports at the moment and I like to finish one before I start another one. I have finished reading the report and I have a meeting with the team on the local employment support networks, LESNs, and jobs clubs this week. I need to fill them in on my good news from the report on what we should do and they will temper me and tell me to...

- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: The local authority's job is to provide long-term, stable housing for people, and HAP is far more stable on a five or ten-year contract than rent supplement where people are normally only on an annual contract. They are obviously writing out to them offering to put them on a long-term footing, but there is no implicit threat that if they do not, it will affect their rent supplement. If the...

Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: The local authority has absolutely no truck with anybody in our Department. They do not have a magic button that they can press.

- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: That is so far. The Deputy is giving the impression that people get a job for 13 weeks and then lose the job. The numbers are reflective of the position we are in today.

Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: When I responded to the Chairman, I said it was demand led but I corrected myself so I would rather not see the Deputy misquote me again because I did correct myself. Turas Nua and Seetec get paid on outputs. When they have a successful outcome, they get paid the extra bonus money for that successful outcome. The numbers we shared last week were never hidden beforehand. Commercial...

Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Regina Doherty: The Deputy will see that if we go to tender next year for the new JobPath. What it does show clearly is that, for the hundreds of thousands of people who have had the experience of going through it, a very large percentage - an enormously successful percentage - with the exception of JobBridge, which people in Deputy Brady's party did not appreciate for a number of years, it has been the...

- Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Community Employment Schemes Supervisors (4 Dec 2018)
Regina Doherty: As the Deputy is probably aware Community Employment (CE) scheme supervisors are employees of private companies in the community and voluntary sector that receive public funding. They are not employees of my Department or public servants. My Department funds wages and training costs in respect of CE participants and supervisors – it does not and has not provided provision for funding...
