Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

In view of the fact that one third of all instructors on privately contracted FÁS courses are not approved by FETAC, the standards authority, when will the qualification and quality assurance (education and training) Bill be before the Dáil? Of those courses, 55% of course organisers are not in full compliance with regulations. Does the Taoiseach agree this is a scandal that must be addressed by the legislation coming before the House as quickly as possible?
