The vital work of Community Employment Schemes (CE schemes) across Kerry often goes unnoticed, but as the back-bone of rural communities, they have never been needed more.
However, in recent months there were mounting fears across the county of the loss of many employees from these schemes due to the effect of Government eligibility rules.
Several eligibility rules have been criticised due to the effect they were having on such schemes in rural communities. An in-depth investigation by The Kerryman on the effects of eligibility rules across Kerry resulted in the Department of Social Protection paying heed to the situation on the ground and led to a meeting in January where concerns were expressed. A campaign for change to the rules was led by Cllr Norma Moriarty, who was joined by colleagues from all parties. .
