People who came off the live register joined the schemes, gained the confidence and learnt the skills, and the vast majority of these people are employed today. However, the Minister, Deputy Mary Coughlan, is now faced with the problem that there was no thought or foresight put into how to sustain community employment schemes. I have a meeting with supervisors in Donegal next week to discuss cut-backs in these schemes. It is acceptable to talk about what was done but the sustainability of these schemes has not been addressed. Supervisors who have mortgages no longer have jobs. People on the live register – and the number is increasing – will not now have the opportunity for training on smaller schemes. This crucial issue was not considered during the economic boom of the last four or five years.
