Subsidy Offered To Employers Taking On Long-Term Unemployed
Employers could receive a subsidy of €72 a week to employ someone who has been out of work for more than 12 months, according to the Irish Times.
An announcement is expected from the Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton laying out the scheme, which is expected to involve a "straight cash subsidy, paid monthly in arrears".
Critics of the scheme, first proposed in the budget, have said that the too many government departments are involved in policies for the unemployed and there needs to a single focused effort.
