Travel distance for scheme participants

Summary

Deenihan asked about travel requirements for people without transport. Ahern said schemes should be local, with no travel allowance and no unreasonable requests.

Jimmy Deenihan Mr. Deenihan Fine Gael

Is there any distance constraint on social employment schemes where people are being asked to travel, in cases where they have no transport?

The spirit of it is that it should be in the local area. Certainly there is no travel allowance so it is not envisaged that unreasonable requests will be made of individuals.
