I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not record the numbers who are referred to Community Employment (CE) centrally but rather the numbers who take up CE.

The following table provides detail on the number of the participants which started each year in the period 2013 – 2017.

The following table outlines the position in relation to the number of persons engaged in Community Employment as at the end of December for each year from 2013 to 2017.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
