Question:

122 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children the arrangements, if any, made to certify apprenticeships obtained through Rehab; if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties being encountered by certain former trainees of the centre in Ashtown, for example, a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16673/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The issue of certification of apprenticeships is a matter for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and FÁS. I have requested my colleague Deputy Harney, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, to have the matter investigated and to reply directly to the Deputy.
