Other Questions: JobPath Implementation (22 Nov 2016)

Tommy Broughan: Why did the Minister not seek to agree a protocol with the different professions where people are in casual employment as part of their training, in this case perhaps through the INTO, the ASTI and the TUI trade unions? The Minister in one of his press releases referred to 60,000 people participating in the JobPath programme. Its purpose is to target the long-term unemployed. It does not...

Other Questions: JobPath Implementation (22 Nov 2016)

Tommy Broughan: I welcome the Minister's comments. It is striking he does not have direct information on that, and I know that from the replies he sent me. Certainly with Seetec, there seems to be an impetus to drag people in and place them at all costs. The system Seetec is operating is the one it operated in the north of the United Kingdom for a number of years. Clearly, in terms of young teachers...

Other Questions: JobPath Implementation (22 Nov 2016)

Tommy Broughan: I have brought JobPath to the Minister's attention previously and earlier today we had a discussion on its operation and the fact that people are selected by the Department on a random basis, with people in our area being sent to Seetec. A specific problem has arisen in the case of second-level teachers, although others are also affected. They are required to pursue JobPath training...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Authority Staff Recruitment (17 Nov 2016)

Tommy Broughan: At the outset, I do not agree with Deputy Wallace in respect of timber-frame accommodation. Certainly, apartments which were built with timber frame have caused problems. It is something that has to be kept under strict review. On the question, I mentioned to the Minister's colleague, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, that 2,500 of our children will be in...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Authority Staff Recruitment (17 Nov 2016)

Tommy Broughan: Is the reality that it is because of the policies of successive Governments the Minister's party and, in particular, Fianna Fáil, have led since the late 1980s that the professional memory of excellence in all aspects of housing construction and planning has been lost by local authorities?
