Community Employment Schemes: Motion.

 

I listened to Senator Leyden assert that we cannot live beyond our means. He spoke as the Department of Finance would wish him to, namely, in terms of money and cost cutting. It is absolutely clear that if you cut the number of places on the schemes many of those people will end up still drawing the unemployment benefit. The saving to the State will therefore be minimal or non-existent.
