Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It is primarily SOLAS through the education and training boards, ETBs. Some of the former FÁS training centres were transferred in January and the remainder are to be transferred in July. There is also a little bit of funding for training grants to industry through the IDA and Enterprise Ireland. Many of our major initiatives such as Springboard, ICT skills and the labour market activation fund have been funded through the national training fund.
