I understand that the PEER (Providing Equal Employment Routes) project was one of 14 activation projects for people with disabilities which were jointly funded by the European Social Fund and the Department of Social Protection from 2012 to 2015. The project was delivered by WALK, the Walkinstown Association for People with an Intellectual . Employment activation for all citizens, including those with a disability, is the responsibility of the Department of Social Protection, and that any decision on funding an employment activation project would be a matter for that Department.

I trust that this clarifies the issue for the Deputy.
