Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: As a very last point, as I understand it, EU fiscal rules are currently suspended but we are applying our own fiscal spending rules, which was that 6.1%. People in the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform will be able to confirm this. Deputy Munster asked some questions around the ideas that the Department was trying to put forward. Was it the...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I apologise if I double back on information that has already been provided but I had other committee commitments. I will ask a general question but I have an obvious interest in the South East Technological University, SETU. I am going to ask about the second bundle of the public private partnership, PPP. We heard details about the first bundle. When is the second bundle likely to land?...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That was excellent news about the Waterford Crystal site. We are all measuring acquiring the site against the capital investment that is needed for the existing site. I mentioned the engineering building. It is slightly unfair to ask a prospective question at a PAC meeting when we are supposed to be retrospective. However, I wanted to take the opportunity to ask. I will return to the...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I hear a real appetite among employers to provide it as in-work training. It is about employee retention and if an employee is not feeling valued in whatever way in his or her current employment, there are currently loads of opportunities within the labour market and people are mobile. People are moving. It is a balance of frustration on behalf of employers because they are paying into the...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I have a final question. There will be pressure from the likes of me and everybody on this committee. Nobody likes to see €1.5 billion sitting around and not working for the taxpayer. The State is a long time in responding to the external review that was in 2018, notwithstanding the fact a new Department has been formed, and I accept it takes longer to respond. The fourth...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Aontaím go pointe leis an Teachta Ó Cuív. Tá sé cosúil leis an taighde a fhiafraíonn de an bhfuil sé ag cur báistí agus tá sé fliuch báite cheana féin. Is cinnte go bhfuil sé ag cur báistí. Tá cúpla ceist agam. Gabhaim buíochas lenár bhfinnéithe as teacht isteach agus as an...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: An mbeadh sé sin ar bhonn in-work learning, mar a thugtar air, is é sin oiliúint san ionad oibre? An bhfuilimid ag labhairt faoi uair sa bhreis nó ag labhairt faoi dhaoine atá ag obair a d'fhéadfadh an traenáil a dhéanamh laistigh den ionad oibre?

I echo the Minister's final comments about the work of the Department of Social Protection. Since I have been elected, we have gone from global pandemic to war in Europe and a massive inflationary cycle. It has been an incredibly busy time for the Department. The staff have been extremely diligent and flexible in responding...

I will begin by talking about some of the supports that are in place as part of the Ukrainian response. One of the subheads the Minister talked about provides resettlement assistance. Will she expand on that a little? There is a list as long as my arm so maybe we will go through them one by one. My second question is related and is about all of the supports we are...
