Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 September 2021
288. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 258 of 15 September 2021, if tenders for the courses and training provided were issued; if so, the persons who responded; the criteria by which the course provider was ultimately chosen; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46195/21]
View answerI refer to information previously supplied in relation to attendance at courses provided by a specific training provider.
Attendance at these training courses by four staff in my Department over the period 2015-2017 was funded as "ad hoc" training, whereby individuals discussed an interest completing the training course with their managers and the Human Resources Unit. As it was a specific course request by a small number of individuals no competitive process was deemed necessary and no tender issued.
