Follow-up after temporary youth jobs

Summary

Gallagher asks for follow-up to temporary jobs so they benefit young people beyond the placement. The Chair treats this as a separate question, and the Minister says the Department and Agency will consider it.

Denis Gallagher Mr. D. Gallagher Fianna Fáil

Will the Minister agree that one of the problems regarding this scheme is that while there are jobs available for young people there does not appear to be any follow-up? A young boy may get employment for six or eight months but it does not tie in with what might be of benefit to him afterwards. Will the Minister consider the matter and ensure that there is some follow-up to the temporary employment that is provided for young people under the scheme?

That seems to be a separate question.

That aspect will be considered by my Department and also by the Youth Employment Agency but as the question referred to sport I am afraid that what the Deputy has mentioned does not arise.
