Written answers

This is a day to day operational matter for SOLAS.

I have made enquires of SOLAS and am informed that the Ballyfermot Training Centre catchment area includes Dublin 8, 10 and 12. However, SOLAS Ballyfermot does not provide training in Safe Pass or Driving Instruction. Day Course 'multimedia' does include an option for ECDL as a module but not on its own. All other provision is through SOLAS evening course programmes. The following tables set out the number of trainees who attended ECDL, First Aid and Manual Handling courses that were offered free to social welfare recipients run in Ballyfermot Training Centre this year.
