Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Ciarán Cannon)

The college referred to by the Deputy is managed by City of Dublin Vocational Educational Committee (CDVEC) and delivers landscaping courses as part of the full-time Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) programme and part-time under the Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) programme. I understand from CDVEC that the college has not been made aware of any issues with any of these courses. The group of students referred to by the Deputy can and should, in the first instance, raise any concerns they have with the Principal of the college.
