Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Digital Literacy in Adults: Discussion
Ms Caroline Henry:
Stay-at-home mums. There are a couple of categories within the CSO statistics that show that. That is where we concentrate and that is where the targets for the digital skills programme came from. It was informed by the CSO statistics. That is why it was in every county. It is specifically for over 45s. It used be for over 65s. We felt there was a cohort of people being left behind by narrowing it that much and it was extended to over 45s and all of the other categories.
