Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
885. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide, in tabular form, a breakdown of all third level courses, training programmes and courses and accompanying cost for the academic year, 1 September 2012 to 30 June 2013, provided for employees of his Department. [34565/13]
View answerGiven her reference to academic year, it is presumed that the Deputy is seeking information on courses of study, funded by my Department and pursued by staff outside of work. Training programmes and courses organised by the Department's Training Units do not run on an academic year basis.
Each year my Department invites staff to make an application for funding under the Post-Entry Education scheme. Applications are considered with reference to the overall cost, relevance and significance of the course to the applicant's role and to the work of their Division-the Department. The funding that my Department provides would vary from 50% up to 100%.
The following table sets out details on courses supported under this scheme for the academic year 2012-13:
