Pathways to Work 2013: Discussion with Department of Social Protection

2:45 pm

Ms Anne Vaughan:

The Deputy also asked about the situation in which an Intreo office is looking for ETB or FÁS courses but they are not available. That is the whole purpose of the change in the ETBs and in SOLAS, in terms of looking at what is required from a national perspective but also, as I said, on the ground. If, for example, the staff in one of Mr. Carroll's offices in Dublin north feel there is a need for a particular course because there is a particular employer that can provide jobs, then Mr. Carroll will be talking to the ETB in Dublin city to see what is available.
