Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Job Creation and Mortgage Support Schemes: Discussion with Department of Social Protection

2:45 pm

Ms Helen Faughnan:

I have clarified the matter with my colleague. Under many of the other initiatives the amount of work a person must do is 19.5 hours but under JobBridge it is 39 hours per week. The €50 came in there to reflect the increased hours.
