As the Deputy may be aware, I brought a Memo to Government in March and obtained approval to publish my Department’s report on the review of Community Employment and the other work schemes and to progress the various changes that were recommended. I will be publishing the review report in the coming days.

My Department will be consulting with key stakeholders in the coming weeks about the new measures and they will be commenced shortly thereafter.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
