Employment Support Services
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-18
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

That report will be published in due course. Local employment services form only one part of this jigsaw. There are a number of aspects, for example, the Intreo offices, where I have increased the number of staff to help people locate jobs. Unfortunately, many people will not get their jobs back when the economy reopens fully. We want to help them find other jobs. A number of approaches to this work are being taken, including local employment services, JobPath and Intreo. Above all, we do not want to reduce any of those services. With this request for tender, which I hope to publish very shortly, I aim to expand services in areas where we do not have a local employment service currently.
