Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments (12 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: It would be interesting to have a figure for the number in employment 24 and 36 months after going through JobPath. As Mr. McKeon stated, we do not have that figure. That would be a really interesting piece of work to have.

Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments (12 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: I thank Mr. McKeon for all the information he has provided. We need job activation.

- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (11 Nov 2020)
Brian Stanley: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important issue on Brexit and the implementation of the British withdrawal come 1 January. It will, unfortunately, cause a significant amount of distress and worry about the jobs of workers in industries, particularly in the agri-food industry. It will have a major impact in my constituency of Laois-Offaly, particularly if we do not get a good...
