“There should be no upper age limit on a scheme designed to help people get back into the workforce” – Carlow and Kilkenny TD Bobby Aylward is calling for an overhaul of the Community Employment Scheme.

Deputy Aylward says it’s something many individuals and businesses involved have been onto him about.
