asked the Minister for Labour if a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 will be grant-aided by AnCO in order to undertake a specialised course in tree surgery in Great Britain, as such a course is not available in this country at present.
Written Answers. - Tree Surgery Course.

Grants are available from AnCO through the levy/grant scheme for employees in designated industrial sectors. Tree surgery would not be included in these.
Outside this scheme, it is not AnCO practice to provide assistance to individuals to learn specialised technical skills outside normal AnCO training programmes. I regret, therefore, that AnCO is not in a position to give a grant to the individual concerned.
