Just Transition (Worker and Community Environmental Rights) Bill 2018: Discussion
Mr. Brian Carroll:
In the first instance, I should reference the just transition funds and the budget, which is €6 million. Decisions have yet to be made about the disbursement of those funds, but those funds will be made available very quickly to support that re-education and retraining. Again, I know in the whole-of-Government approach, all relevant agencies and institutions are being marshalled and there would clearly be a role for Athlone IT given its location in the midlands.
