Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2011
103 Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application for a FÁS course in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25420/11]
View answerI understand from FÁS that an application has been received by FÁS from the employer of the person in question to register him as an apprentice Motor Mechanic. Applicants registering to the motor trade must pass a FÁS approved colour vision test which must be administered by an Optician, Medical Doctor and/or Optometrist.
I also understand from FÁS that the person in question failed to pass the colour vision test, that he has appealed to the nominated independent Medical Examiner and that the results of this appeal are pending.
