164. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason Boyle social welfare office directed many claimants there to take a training course with a Ballina, County Mayo based training company for the installation of water meters, when Irish Water will not recognise that training; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

There is no record of the Social Welfare Branch Office in Boyle or the Activation Unit in Roscommon Control office referring customers to the training course mentioned. If the deputy wishes to provide details of the referral, the matter will be examined and he will be notified of the outcome.
