Mr. Joe O'Flynn:
The fund administrator has said that the SKILL programme was set up as a result of partnership and the Labour Court recommendation. The fund in my opinion was not set up as a result of social partnership nor had it anything to do with social partnership. The fund should never have been set up in the manner in which it was set up. There is no point in I or anybody trying to speculate as to why it was set up. It should not have been set up in the manner in which it was set up, full stop.
