I propose to take Questions Nos. 335, 336 and 338 together.County Meath currently has 388 approved Leaving Certificate (PLC) places across 4 centres (3 centres managed by the Vocational Educational Committee (VEC) and 1 community and comprehensive school). There are 46 sanctioned PLC courses. The total teacher allocation will be reduced by 3 from next September. In County Meath in 2011, almost 5,500 people participated in a range of full-time and part-time further education programmes and FÁS made over 1,100 training places available.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 344 and 345 together.I have arranged for the matter raised by the Deputy to be forwarded to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply.The Deputy will be aware that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE), through its network of local special educational needs organisers (SENOs), is responsible for processing applications from primary and post primary schools for special educational needs supports, including the establishment of special classes in various geographical areas as required. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. SENOs are a valuable source of support to parents who are actively sourcing a placement for their children. Furthermore the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB) is the statutory agency which assists parents who are experiencing difficulty in securing a school place for their child.The establishment of a network of autism-specific special classes in schools across the country to cater for children with autism has been a key educational priority in recent years. The Deputy will also be aware that the Health Service Executive is responsible for the provision of health supports, including therapies, to children with special educational needs.

Employment Rights

Questions (350)

Peadar Tóibín

Question:

350. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills the systems in place to ensure that all contractors and sub-contractors employed on construction, refurbishment and maintenance projects funded by the State are fully compliant with Irish and European labour laws and regulations; if he will give an assurance that no contractor or sub-contractor employed on such contracts is currently in breach of any aspect of Irish or European labour law and regulations. [5864/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The payment of the appropriate Registered Employment Agreement rates of Pay and Conditions of Employment (including pensions) is a Contract clause in all the Public Works Contracts. The Contractor's obligation in terms of Pay and Conditions of Employment apply to not only his workers but also all other workers on site. My Department has produced a guidance note for Consultants on pay and conditions of employment which is available on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This sets out for Consultants the procedure for dealing with issues relating to pay and conditions.Where an allegation of non compliance arises, the allegation should be reported to the appropriate statutory dispute investigation and resolution mechanisms provided by the State. The main statutory agency charged with this function is the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) which has the remit, resources, experience and statutory powers in place to investigate and resolve these matters in the most efficient and impartial manner. Where serious breaches are alleged it is also possible to refer the matter directly to the Labour Court. If the Deputy is aware of any particular state contracts where there are concerns that Irish and European labour laws and regulations are not been complied with, the Deputy should bring these to the attention of NERA.

Question No. 351 answered with Question No. 324.

[5889/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The detailed information sought by the Deputy is not readily available as it is not compiled in this format within my Department or in the bodies/agencies under the aegis of my Department. The extraction of this data would be extremely time-consuming and would entail the re-assignment of scare staff resources from priority tasks resulting in delays in pension administration and reduced ability to address day to day work in a timely manner. Such assignment of scarce staff resources in my Department and in bodies/agencies under the aegis of my Department to the compilation of this information could not be justified. However, I will arrange for a copy of less specific information regarding pension payments under various parameters which was provided to the House in the recent past to be provided to the Deputy if he so wishes.
