The statistics sought by the Deputy are not readily available in the Department and will have to be compiled. Officials will contact the Deputy directly when the information has been gathered. However, it is important to point out that the Department - through its network of Intreo offices - makes every effort to ensure that there is maximum take-up of CE places by jobseekers and other vulnerable groups.
