Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

On all of the applications, there is freedom to get grants towards further or higher education programmes and so on. I accept the Deputy's criticisms on the Dell applications. We could have done better under all of them. We are seeking to have an initial guidance so that we can plan to meet the needs of people. We have identified under TalkTalk that we will continue to have the further and higher education grants, as well as particular programmes, developed to meet the needs of groups of redundant workers who have similar needs. We have also identified the need for course costs and a particular grant for that. There were innovations such as particular customisation needs under the Dell programme. FÁS designed an internship programme which included training and on the job placement for a number of private companies. I know the Deputy will be aware of that.

In parallel but not under the EGF, we did an accelerated tailored level 7 conversion course.
