‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Jobsearch Programme. Hotel manager placed on Jobsearch
Summary
Stagg cited a junior hotel manager who was required to join Jobsearch, had an appeal refused, and emigrated. The Chair said the individual case warranted a separate question.
Is the Minister aware, in view of the statement that this scheme is for the long term unemployed, of the case of a junior hotel manager who of necessity is unemployed for brief periods between employment, who was forced to go onto the Jobsearch scheme and who made direct representations to the Minister who refused his appeal on grounds that it was unreasonable? He now is off the register because he took the emigrant boat to England.
