    I read it was and that their contract ends at the end of this year, also that they wouldn't be taking on new cases yet people are getting letters still. I can't find any info online. Anyone know?

    The Government haven’t made any announcement about getting rid of Seetec/TN.

    "Independent TD Mattie McGrath has said that he welcomes confirmation from The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection that referrals to the Jobpath programme will cease at the end of this year. Deputy McGrath was speaking after The Times-Ireland Edition reported that a run-off period “during which employment support will continue, but no additional clients will be referred to JobPath” is to come into effect. It has also been confirmed with the Department that the initial contracts with Seetec and Turas Nua included an option to extend the referral period for another two years, but this is not expected to happen:

    “I think there are a significant number of people out there will breathe a sigh of relief about this latest development.

    Many of us have been calling on Regina Doherty, to get rid of this coercive and patronising programme for years.""

    [...]

    "In February the Minister was defeated by a majority of Dáil members who called for the abolition of the Jobpath Programme and specifically the model operated by Turas Nua.

    When I put the question to her about how she was going to respect that vote; she indicated to me and the other members present that the Motion was meaningless and would not be acted upon.

    It now appears she has thought better of that,” concluded Deputy McGrath."

    We are ramping up enrollments. Our letters sent out now with jobpath on them to encourage people to come straight away. If you dont come we will stop all payments effective immediately we are data harvesting on four new servers all from public services cards and we have never been this busy before. we have gone from ten people signed up a day per interviewer (they call us something else) to over twenty. two have done fourteen today already. much more determined then before because the cards going to be illegal and closing seetec in january. heads would explode if they saw in here.
