347 Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Social Protection, with regard to the cut to the training and materials grant for community employment schemes announced in budget 2012, if she stands by her previous statement that, in the event that this cut creates financial difficulties for schemes that would otherwise be viable, her Department will be in a position to fund such schemes from within the overall Department budget; if she stands by the previous commitment that no CE scheme will close pending the completion of the forthcoming review; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a cut of €14,000 in the training and materials grant to the community employment scheme (details supplied) is to result in the closure of that scheme on 20 January; and if she will make a commitment that the scheme will receive the necessary funding, totalling just €1,200 per month, to allow it to stay open pending the completion of the review.
