Maureen O'Sullivan
Question:459. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 502 of 3 February 2015, if she will acknowledge a failing in the Quality and Qualifications Ireland system of not awarding qualifications based on a chef's experience (details supplied), length of service and references in the culinary industry; and that this system is causing employment uncertainty for persons, as certificates are needed for further employment; her views that a perfectly well trained person should not be at a loss in terms of employment opportunities based on the fact that they completed their apprenticeship and training at a time in the past when certification was not widespread; her plans to rectify this in the name of fairness; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
