Intent: Support was requested to move away from the proposed changes to the system thus allowing for the retention of the LES services and the valuable supports they provide to the most disadvantaged in society. There are serious concerns regarding the process that DSP intends to use for the contracting of the new public employment service provision with one of the major issues being its move towards an underlying payment by results model when such models have been discredited internationally.

|---|---|
| — | Support was requested from local Oireachtas members in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown in relation to the new Local Employment Services 'Request for Tender' process being initiated by the Dept. of Social Protection. The extremely high financial risks involved and the moves towards monitization of the service undermine the capacity of Local Development Companies to engage in the process and also risk damaging the service provision to those most distanced from the labour market at a local level. |
