Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2013
287. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if payment for training in the FÁS redundant placement scheme will issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4123/13]
View answerThe person in question commenced employment with his employer hoping to avail of the Phase 7 Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme (RAPS). His employer was contacted in relation to supplying the relevant documentation in order to start the individual in question on the RAPS. However, I understand that the company did not meet the requirements of RAPS as they were unable to supply a Tax Clearance Certificate. I am informed that the individual in question was notified that his employers did not meet the requirements of the RAPS; therefore he could not be paid by FÁS under this scheme.
