Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
175. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the status of Enterprise Ireland grants for the 22 regulatory roles affected by the redundancies at a company (details supplied) in 2021 and future years. [15089/21]
View answerI am informed that the proposed redundancies referred to in the question relate to back office functions. Enterprise Ireland has not directly supported these functions. Some of the staff now being made redundant may have availed of general training programmes which Enterprise Ireland supported. There is no recourse on the grants paid out already for these training programmes as the training has already been carried out and the employees have been upskilled. In that regard, the new skills are transferrable and will be of ongoing benefit to the staff concerned. However, no grants will be paid out on future claims related to these roles which may be made redundant.
