Community Employment Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-28
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

I welcome the recently announced changes to CE schemes. However, I do not believe they go far enough. With regard to the reduction of the qualifying period from 12 months to nine months in respect of Ukrainian refugees, will the Minister of State consider extending that reduction across the board given the high and growing number of vacancies on CE schemes?
