MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

"That the Manager, noting the contents of the written Report on Motion 3 on the Agenda of the Council meeting of the 11th January 2013, would examine the possibility of Council sponsored Community Employment Scheme or Schemes, which could support the work of community organizations in Lucan, such as Lucan Youth Service, Lucan Tidy Towns, amd other organizations/groups, and that the Manager would make a statement on the matter."

REPORT:

The Community Team will give consideration to all such options. Since the government announcement of the extra Community Employment (CE) places being made available, the various government departments have been involved in discussions for the purpose of ironing out the details on a national basis.

In the meanwhile, the Community Department has been assessing its own CE schemes to see where there is potential for expanding existing schemes and possibly initiating new ones.The Community Team will contact the organisations in the Lucan area and see what options may be open to support the very valuable work carried out by the various groups mentioned.
