190. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the reason the local community employment scheme, which deals with roads, has been discontinued; if she will consider making provisions for the scheme to commence again as it is of considerable benefit to communities and local authorities. [26171/15]

My understanding is that the scheme referred to by the Deputy is the community involvement scheme which is funded by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. The community employment programme plays no role in the upkeep of local or other roads.
