As replied to the Deputy in Question number 91 answered on Tuesday 20^thFebruary 2018 I am currently reviewing the rules governing the provision which allows Community Employment (CE) participants aged 62 or over to apply to extend their participation on CE beyond the standard lifetime participation limits. I expect this review to be completed shortly.

If a particular participant wants to avail of this provision, they should contact their local DEASP Intreo office for more information.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
