Ceisteanna (510)

Seán Crowe

Ceist:

510. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Social Protection if she is aware of the ongoing challenges being faced by workers who are made redundant and attempt to access a course to upskill through programmes, such as Springboard, only to find that they have missed the start of that course and must wait a period of months for the next start date thereby; and if there are any plans to facilitate easier access to a training.

The Department of Social Protection provides a range of income supports to assist people to develop their skills to regain employment. However scheduling springboard courses comes within the remit of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
