Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

Next year will see thousands of participants who joined the rural social scheme in 2017 leaving it after six years. This fundamentally opposes the very purpose of the rural social scheme and is nonsensical in the current environment. The six-year rule should be abolished immediately. Will the Government support such a move and resolve the considerable stress on participants, who are effectively on notice that they will lose their jobs next year?
