On the allocation of €30 million for funding pressures, does that mean other learners from ETBs will be further down the food chain when it comes to quality of learning? At what cost will this now be for other courses at ETB level? We had that issue in Cashel where there were lay-offs and 14 young students lost out on courses. The Minister of State, Deputy Harkin, stated it was fully funded but it obviously was not, if that was the case. What will happen? Will that €30 million allocation directly affect other funding?
