Barry Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

How much money is to be spent on staff training and redeployment? The Minister suggests the private sector will fill some of the gaps in expertise. Has this been costed and, if so, how much money is to be provided? Does the Minister stand by her initial projection at this late stage of the year that 75,000 long-term unemployed persons will be in employment by 2015?
