Community Employment Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-11
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I very much agree with the previous speaker about this valuable scheme. It has helped many people to readjust to situations that face them at a particularly difficult time. It has helped local voluntary organisations tremendously at a time when it has been quite difficult to get sufficient staff to meet their requirements. Anything that can be done to make the scheme more attractive and accessible from the point of view of extended years of service in a particular project, whatever the case may be, would be greatly appreciated by voluntary organisations all over the country and also by the recipients.
