Community Employment Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-06
============================================================

Seán Sherlock (LAB), Cork East

I wish to ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will examine a proposal to allow men and women, the question should have read men and women, of pre-retirement age coming from a manual labour background to have a disregard for the requirement to be in receipt of a social protection payment for 12 months, in order that they can qualify for community employment schemes.
