Issues concerning labour activation measures, including JobBridge and the Local Authority Labour Activation Scheme (Gateway), are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection.  As labour activation placements in local authorities do not form part of the Employment Control Framework for local government, sanction by my Department for schemes of this nature is not required.
