Is the 10% limit on extensions hampering certain of the outcomes for participants? It was stated earlier that it is not possible for people to pursue a FETAC level 5 course. What is the position with other schemes? The scheme with which I am familiar is that which relates to child care. The campaign raised a range of other issues during the past year and I presume that SIPTU is still engaging with the Department in respect of pay and conditions, collective bargaining for supervisors and other vital issues. The issues to which I refer have been forgotten to some extent as a result of the crisis in dealing with the day-to-day operation of CE schemes and ensuring participants can avail of some type of training.
