Under the current community employment eligibility guidelines, the person concerned is not eligible to apply for a position on the programme as he is not in receipt of any payment from the Department of Social Protection. He would need to be in receipt of one of the qualifying payments to be eligible or be in receipt of Jobseekers Benefit/Assistance for at least 12 months prior to participation. A full listing of the eligibility criteria for community employment is available at: http://www.fas.ie/en/Communities/Community+Employment/Eligibility+–+Participant/default.htm
