Question 220: To ask the Minister for Social Protection if any of the cuts she has introduced in relation to community employment schemes will lead to any job losses in CE schemes in County Louth; if she will provide a breakdown in the numbers employed in each CE scheme in County Louth in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012; and if she expects this to change as a result of expenditure cuts.

The number of places allocated to each of the Community Employment Schemes currently running in County Louth is set out in the table attached. It should be noted that the decrease in places in 2012 is as a result of the closure of one element of two different projects and is not related to budgetary restrictions. It is intended to use these places to initiate a new scheme in Drogheda which will provide places for recovering drug misusers. This scheme is scheduled to commence during the summer of 2012. There has been no reduction in the number of CE places available in 2012.
