The information requested by the Deputy is collated at county level by my Department annually for inclusion in the Statistical Information on Social Welfare Services report. Work has commenced on the compilation of data for the production of the 2013 report. However, the most recent data available, at present, in respect the number of participants on labour activation schemes at the end of 2012 and 2013 is detailed by each scheme in the attached tabular statement.
