The Minister of State, Deputy Fahey, recently stated in the Dáil that, in accordance with the Government's decision in 1999 to restructure community employment, participation levels are gradually being reduced, reflecting the significant reduction in the numbers of the long-term unemployed and the shift in emphasis away from work experience programmes to training, from which there is a greater level of progression to employment. The average participation rate on community employment in 2002, the Minister stated, is expected to be in the region of 28,000, with a projected year end participation rate of 25,000. What is to happen to the 3,000 at a minimum who will be displaced when we consider that unemployment is unfortunately on the rise again?
