Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 June 2015
204. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 11 of 10 June 2015, if she will provide information on the two Skillnets networks which provide subsidised training in responsible welding co-ordinator training; the amount these courses will cost those in employment; the subsidies available; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24093/15]
View answerThe name of the Skillnets networks are the TechNorthWest Skillnet and the IIE Manufacturing Skillnet. I have attached a spreadsheet of training that has been delivered earlier in the year with costs, trainee numbers and company details. At present, I understand that neither network plan to run the programmes again in 2015, but could do so if there was a demand and interested parties should make contact with the networks directly.
