My Department offers a wide range of employment initiatives including Community Employment (CE) and Tús which provide income support and activation supports catering for long-term unemployed jobseekers and those most distant from the labour market.

The number of participants, by county, for these schemes at the end of March 2017 is presented in a tabular form.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
