Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: On the C and AG's chapter, surpluses have been accumulating each year on the fund. A graph shows huge gaps between the forecast surplus and the actual surplus, and the actual income and actual expenditure, last year.

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: I understand we have to accept there will always be people who are between jobs, probably at the level of 3%. I am saying that, within those figures, there are people who are long- or medium-term unemployed. The training element in the community employment schemes, in particular, is minimal enough, yet there is this huge reduction in the amount of money spent on training within those...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: Could we have a note on apprenticeships are regards the initiatives? What initiatives are now happening? What progress has been made on them in the past 12 months in using the public sector? What efforts are being made to convince or reach employers to get them to take on apprenticeships? As regards the public sector, could the area of semi-State companies be included in that note? Have...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: It is important. We cannot overemphasise the importance of that for families and students. It would also take the pressure off the so-called housing market in the areas around some of those third level institutions. There is a big crisis around those areas. It is pressure on top of pressure. Before we close, does Dr. O'Reardon have the report on precarious employment in third level?

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: On collecting the data, we have a certain number of third level institutions. Whoever is working in the payroll section or is in charge of HR will know quickly enough how many full-timers they have, how many part-timers, and how many are on short-term contracts for maybe a year or two. Would Dr. O'Reardon agree that people are not going to be kept in the sector if they have 11 hours a week...

Chapter 19: National Training Fund (23 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: The unions have been pushing it, including the Teachers Union of Ireland. They would have some information on it. I would ask that they be consulted as part of this. It is important that the representative bodies are asked. Unfortunately, many of the people who are most severely affected by this are not actually union members, because the nature of their employment is so precarious. The...
