Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

Community Training Centres (CTCs) are funded through the Education and Training Boards. They are managed and operated by independent local Boards of Management and each CTC is a separate legal entity. The staff are employed by these groups and as such do not have an entitlement to redeployment. My Department does not have a direct role in staffing and employment issues relating to these bodies.
