Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 November 2014
164. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Education and Skills when the enhanced redundancy recommendation by the Labour Court in April 2013 (LRC 20530) will be granted to the co-ordinator and assistant co-ordinator of the FÁS funded scheme based in County Limerick; if they will be granted the full amount recommended by the Labour Court; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerLocal Training Initiatives are managed and operated by local groups and the staff are employed by these groups. Responsibility for funding Local Training Initiatives has recently moved from SOLAS to the each of the Education and Training Boards.
The Department has issued a sanction to fund enhanced redundancy for former employees of Local Training Initiatives where appropriate. I understand that the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board is in the process of making such arrangements in this particular case.
