Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: SOLAS Training and Education Programmes Certification (26 Feb 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: 204. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason SOLAS is continuing to add additional conditions onto the renewal of the safe pass cards in the absence of the proposed draft regulations (details supplied) which will provide the additional power to add their own conditions; if SOLAS will suspend these additional requirements until the draft regulations come into law; and if he...

Irish Film Board (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (6 Dec 2018)

Josepha Madigan: ...an exponential rate. In addition, work based learning initiatives grew through participation in "Red Rock" and "Nightflyers", the VFX animation traineeship, the graduate traineeship programme and the new assistant traineeship in Kilkenny with Cartoon Saloon supported by SOLAS. It is fair to say Screen Ireland has undergone major change and development, both domestically and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Nov 2018) See 2 other results from this debate

Mr. Paddy Power: I thank the committee for the invitation to attend and it is a pleasure to speak in front of members. I worked in the hospitality industry for 14 years. At 15 years of age I commenced working in the industry on a part-time basis and straight after I completed my leaving certificate, I began to work in the industry full time. When I reached my late 20s, I became concerned...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Uptake of Apprenticeships and Traineeships: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2018)

...companies on Mr. Davitt's board, which are the top global companies in the world, are prepared to offer apprenticeships, those apprenticeships will have status. These companies have serious brand power and they believe it is the thing to do. In the pharmaceutical sector we have seen some household names taking on apprentices. However, other things also need to happen, including in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (13 Nov 2018)

...positive or sustained transition into more vocational training. This is a tailored programme to offer them that. I was very heartened to see some of the recommendations in the recently published SOLAS review of Pathway to Apprenticeships. This aims to increase pre-apprenticeship programmes around the country by about 500 by the third quarter of 2019. However, this ambition will not be...

Apprenticeships: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

John Halligan: ...year, we are exceeding the targets for registrations on craft trades. However, it is important to note that not all craft trades have recovered to the same extent. There is ongoing engagement between SOLAS and the construction industry stakeholders on support for some of the lower volume trades, including on proposals to develop the model of shared apprenticeship. Members will be aware...

Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)

Dr. Graham Love: That is the territory of the further education and training sector and SOLAS, to be clear. On the question about UL, the report goes back a few years. There were a number of attempts to access UL that either were not received or were not complied with. I imagine it was then that the HEA understood it did not have power with regard to universities, at least, because it was...

Supports for People with Disabilities: Discussion (3 May 2018)

...at present - the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill - that could solve this problem. Inclusion Ireland's recommendation is that the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, should have the power to direct a school to open an autism class so that every child who has this support need may attend his or her local school if he or she so wishes. Obviously, resources would have to flow...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: RAPID Programme (2 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...we know scientifically from statistics there is the greatest level of deprivation. Can the Minister tell me if the funding is ring-fenced for the benefit of those areas, or have the LCDCs the power to spend it anywhere they want in the county? Previously, when we had the area implementation teams, AITs, which are now replaced by the LCDCs, there were regular meetings around a table...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Inequality and Disadvantage: Discussion (6 Feb 2018)

...a serious issue with competition for resources. It took 15 years in An Cosán, with which I have been for 25 years, to let go of competitiveness and move into collaboration because I have seen the power of collaboration. This is a long journey when one is fighting for such limited resources. If anything comes out of this meeting, it will be the call to resource community education...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...in these institutions, the role the State had in placing them within these institutions and the responsibility it bears for the treatment and welfare of children more generally within these institutions; - have the power to compel witnesses to come before a truth commission; - publish a series of interim reports to Dáil Éireann, on a bi-monthly basis, on the progress of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government (21 Sep 2016)

Victor Boyhan: .... Will the Minister consider reviewing the Part VIII process? I had an opportunity to engage with the Minister about a particular local authority. His officials came back to me and said he had no power and function in the matter. I accept that, but the letter caused me to revisit a number of pieces of legislation related to the Planning and Development Act. The Act states that under...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Future of Health Care (Resumed): Dr. Stephen Kinsella (14 Sep 2016)

...person. My hope is that one can ally this with those data gathering initiatives. What is the capacity if we turned it on? There are people who have produced workforce planning models in SOLAS. Professor Eilis McGovern and her team in the HSE have done considerable work as well. A group in the Department of Health has done this work to a high standard for midwives and nurses. In terms...

Seanad: Longer Healthy Living Bill 2015: Second Stage (30 Sep 2015)

Catherine Noone: I commend Senators Crown, Barrett and Power for this Bill. I welcome the Minister to the House. The situation referred to by Senator Moloney sounds like double punishment to me; marriage and then lack of a pension. I support the Longer Healthy Living Bill 2015. It seems nonsensical to have public servants in the areas of law and politics, and in other areas, who can work until they are...

Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (11 Feb 2015)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...of the use of the description "university" by high-quality education providers for specified purposes outside the State; to amend the Student Support Act 2011 to ensure that the Minister has the power to prescribe post-leaving certificate courses for the purposes of the student grant scheme; and to amend the Education Act 1998 to provide for a refusal of access to specified information...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Pathways to Work: Department of Social Protection (15 Oct 2014)

Ms Anne Vaughan: Last year, all the places were taken up. However, we are working with our colleagues in SOLAS and in the education and training boards, ETBs. There is a review of MOMENTUM about which my colleagues might wish to speak, and we learned from the review. We had a meeting recently with my colleagues in SOLAS to see how we will proceed for this year's MOMENTUM. The MOMENTUM...

Workplace Relations Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Oct 2014)

Catherine Murphy: .... I believe a Labour Court judgment was made some years ago on the supervisors, who believe they got a decision that was then simply ignored. As FÁS no longer is in being - the supervisors are in SOLAS now - they have concerns and there is a difficulty in knowing who or what will pay their pensions. It appears as though they are falling between two stools. This kind of scenario...

Registration of Lobbying Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Oct 2014)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...with ten or fewer employees would have to be redefined. I have suggested the provision should include the annual turnover of companies to reflect the fact that some companies can be hugely powerful and influential, although their staff numbers may be low. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that some companies employ varying numbers of staff at different times of the year...
