Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

I refer to the answer to Parliamentary Questions No. 189 and 192 of 19 January 2010. Details of all eligible guidance, training, educational and entrepreneurial measures available with the assistance of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for those workers made redundant at the DELL plant in Raheen, Co. Limerick and at ancillary enterprises since 8 January 2009 will be provided at the public information event being hosted at the South Court Hotel in Limerick on 11-12 February 2010 by the FAS EGF Coordination Unit. A number of complementary and innovative measures are included in addition to the range of current courses and programmes available across a wide range of service providers, both public and private.

Question No. 202 answered with Question No. 193.
