Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 July 2014
95. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the number of companies that have been banned from using JobBridge; the names of these companies; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30933/14]
Amharc ar fhreagra41 host organisations have been excluded from participation in JobBridge. The Department does not disclose the names of those host organisations. Host organisations have been excluded for a number of reasons, including administrative or technical reasons such as the company having been dissolved before the end of the internship, failure to respond to e-mails, the use of a third party to select or mentor interns or failure to provide a reference to the intern. However, it is important to emphasise that the vast majority of the more than 13,000 host organisations are compliant and participate successfully in JobBridge.
