Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

Ms Angela Kerins:
It has spread in many directions. In Ireland, the three main operators are the National Learning Network, Rehab Care and a number of enterprise activities. We also have our lotteries. What the Deputy has before her is not a company structure but a management structure, which seemed to be the easiest way to talk about it. There would be a number of not-for-profit charities and commercial companies in there. Some of them are based here, some are based in the United Kingdom, particularly in Scotland where there is a lot of development, and some are based in Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Poland. The array of enterprise activities is quite spread.
The training activity is in Ireland and the UK. People have made comments already in relation to the wider Middle Eastern development, which is in the whole area of training. The training division and the health care division span the geographies, some more than others. The enterprises are wider. They are the ones that are in Poland.
