Thomas P. Broughan

Question:

265. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a reply will issue in respect of correspondence sent to him regarding an organisation (details supplied) in Dublin 13; and if a solution can be reached to stop the withdrawal of the adult literacy service from that organisation. [29552/14]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

The matter referred to by the Deputy is an operational matter for the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB).

I understand from CDETB that they are re-organising their literacy service in this area but that there will be no reduction in the level of provision available to learners. The extent of the literacy service to be provided and the organisation of classes in any centre is a matter for the ETB.
