Many Senators will have received letters from participants in the community employment scheme outlining the horrendous effect these cuts will have on them. It will impact on a range of individual and community activities and it should not be viewed in the simple terms of statistics and logistics. I received a letter, a copy of which was sent to the Minister and other Oireachtas Members in the Tipperary North constituency, from community employment scheme participants who are working in Roscrea in a group called Roscrea 2000, a successfully operating ADM funded project. They point out that those who will be removed from community employment due to the cuts will return to the live register. What is to be gained from this? The benefits of the community employment scheme to this group is manifest in the work of its members on projects in housing estates and in their participation in the tidy towns competition. The group also provides child care facilities operated by fully qualified community employment scheme participants, which for a small charge provides support to lone parents, unemployed persons and a wide range of people who otherwise could not afford commercial child care charges, to enable them to take up training courses or employment while having their children cared for in a safe environment. What will happen to these people?
