AIM programme payments
Deputy Anne Rabbitte raised delays and unpaid workers in the access and inclusion model programme. The Taoiseach said he would have to find out and come back to her.
A number of months ago, I asked the Taoiseach, regarding the programme for Government, what was the schedule for the access inclusion model, AIM, programme. It is 15 November and the AIM programme is up and running. Regrettably, however, some parts of it are not, particularly the therapeutic aspect that is aimed at children with Down syndrome. Yesterday, I met people protesting outside for better pay. Regrettably, some of them on the AIM programme have not been paid for ten weeks. Where is the schedule?
