In budget 2010 provision was made for an increase of 500 Community Employment (CE) places bringing the total number of places available to 23,300 during 2010. The Government will continue to support the positive role of Community Employment in meeting the needs of long-term unemployed persons while at the same time providing essential services to communities. This Department will keep the operation of the Scheme under review in the context of the current unemployment situation.
