Further to parliamentary question numbers 310 and 311 of 7 March 2017 the number of Community Employment (CE) projects for 2017 is provided by county, in tabular form in table 1. In addition, the total number of participants and supervisors for 2017 is provided in table 2.

The details for 2018 is currently being compiled and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy, together with the number of projects supported through the CE programme which have been amalgamated for the period 2017 and to date in 2018.
