KCA to seek third FÁS worker

Kilcullen Community Action is to seek a third Community Employment Scheme worker from FÁS to help with administration tasks, writes Brian Byrne.

The matter was discussed at a recent meeting, where it was also revealed that reductions to the grant structure will mean the loss of around €1,000 to KCA in relation to the organisation's current involvement, where two CES workers are employed.

Noel Clare said the money was typically used to provide tools for use by the workers. He noted that there are some 25 workers employed in the Kilcullen/Calverstown area under the CES, involving 13 different community groups.

He said there was a lot of work involved in managing the two workers in the KCA scheme, and that things could be more efficiently managed if there was a third worker to deal with administration.

An office location would be necessary, and it was decided to explore a number of possibilities, as well as seek funding for the third worker.
