Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: JobPath Programme (3 May 2018)

John Brady: On reading the details and having listened to the Minister, it is clear that the problems experienced by people locked into JobPath will continue. We know that underemployed persons are being actively targeted to join the JobPath programme. We are being told that people locked into JobPath can participate in Tús and community employment schemes, but they will be treated in the same way...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: JobPath Programme (3 May 2018)

John Brady: I have another question. Obviously someone participating in a community employment scheme can avail of education to upskill. People are being actively targeted by JobPath to enter full-time employment as per the terms of reference; that is what they are supposed to be doing. What happens to a person who is engaged in an education course under a community employment scheme for a major...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

John Brady: ...stated that the drop in spending under the community employment and Tús schemes was due to a "decline in the number of participants arising from the improved labour market." Why have referrals to the JobPath scheme soared, while community employment schemes are struggling to fill places? Is the Minister aware of the difficulty Tús and community employment programmes are...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2018)

John Brady: Mr. O'Neill's comments bring us to the central point we are trying to make. The joint committee is examining JobPath and its impact on services and schemes such as those provided by local employment services. I should point out that I was previously a board member of Bray Area Partnership and I am familiar with the critical work done by the various organisations across the State. I had to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2018)

John Brady: ...once they are locked in to go back on to a CE scheme, for example. Have there been conversations or communications with the network in this regard? These people should never have been put in JobPath in the first place because inevitably they were going to end up on a CE or an another scheme, which should have been the first port of call. That is where the LES has been so good for many...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

John Brady: ...in the installation of water meters, the continued roll-out of the public services card, an over-the-top social welfare fraud campaign based on false figures, the continued spending on the flawed JobPath scheme or the infamous strategic communications unit. I wonder how it must feel to be trapped in emergency accommodation, sleeping on the streets, struggling to pay rising rents or a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

John Brady: ...believe it is still necessary to have that additional capacity now? As Deputy O'Dea mentioned, unemployment levels are down to 6% with slightly more than 141,000 people on the live register. When JobPath was being thought out within the Department, did officials look at other labour activation schemes that were in place, such as the local enterprise schemes, LESs, and so on, with a view...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

John Brady: I do not expect that Mr. Conlon has the relevant figures with him. However, will he find out how many part-time workers have been referred to JobPath? He referred earlier to 25% of people, or 36,000, who had engaged up to June 2016 and the fact that 4% of them ended up in part-time employment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

John Brady: I agree. Mr. Lynch stated that there is a clear path for people who, after spending a year on JobPath, would then be referred to the local employment service. Logically, though, the proper place for them in the first instance was the local employment service. A full year of the individual's time will have been wasted.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

John Brady: .... Many people have been in touch with me who have just recently become unemployed - it is a matter of weeks in some cases and a month or two in others - but who have still been referred to JobPath. It seems to have deviated from the initial concept of providing a service for the long-term unemployed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: EU Employment Legislation and JobPath: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

John Brady: ...that the types of employment people are going into include construction but employment is up across the board in that sector so people would naturally go into them even if it were not for JobPath. Is the type of employment monitored and do the results feed into the process? Are there conditions in a contract that enable a person to pull out if the KPIs are not being met? If the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Labour Activation Measures: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)

John Brady: ...to sound alarm bells. Have the witnesses a breakdown of the numbers of people with disabilities who are engaged in the job activation schemes such as the community employment scheme, Tús, and JobPath? Were they able to obtain those figures? It would be interesting to hear the witnesses' views, if any, on the new Ability programme announced by Government. On the comprehensive...
