Currently, there is provision for 2,600 participants and a further 130 supervisors on the Rural Social Scheme (RSS). I am not in a position to give specific waiting times for entry on to the RSS at present as all of the available places have been allocated.
The RSS is delivered at a local level by the LEADER groups and, in the Gaeltacht, by the LEADER groups in conjunction with Ãdarás na Gaeltachta. Each of the Implementing Bodies has been encouraged to form a waiting list of suitable eligible applicants in its area, which can then be used to fill vacancies as and when they arise.
Accordingly, I would encourage anyone interested in participating in the Scheme to contact their local LEADER group or Ãdarás na Gaeltachta, which will be able to advise them of the qualifying conditions of the Scheme and the waiting lists in their specific area.
Please see the following list of contact details.
