That's the view of Sinn Féin Senator and Fore's Paul Gavan.
The treatment of Community Employment Scheme supervisors by the Government is a poor reflection of the Country.
That's the view of Sinn Féin Senator Paul Gavan who says CE scheme supervisors have not had a pay rise since 2008.
Changes in the Budget will mean that by January, some CE scheme managers will be working for less than the minimum wage.
Westmeath's Paul Gavan says the pay they get for the skills they provide, is so low, ironically, they would be better off on the dole:
