There is only one staff member in my Department who has been provided with two phone lines at their home. This person is a teleworker requiring both phone and data connectivity and for technical reasons was provided with a second phone line.

Question 431: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the amount of money paid to the training officers in his Department in respect of travel and subsistence allowances; the number of training days organised; and if the relocation of CMOD to Tullamore has had an impact on the work of training officers or on the work of those who attend courses there.

I understand that the Deputy wishes to have details of travel and subsistence paid to the Departmental Training Officer and training days organised within the main Department since 1st January 2004. Since that date up to 31st March 2007, travel and subsistence amounting to €796.56 in total was paid to the current and previous Departmental Training Officer. Records show that person training days organised by my Department amounted to 2,989 in 2004; 3,323 in 2005 and 2,600 in 2006.

The relocation of CMOD to Tullamore has had no specific impact on the work of the Departmental Training Officer. Since the courses offered by CMOD in Tullamore are identical in content to those previously offered in Dublin, there is no difference in the impact the courses have on the work of officers attending in Tullamore, other than additional travel.

I understand that the Civil Service Training Centre relocated to Tullamore in July 2006. In the twelve month period prior to the relocation of the Centre, no travel or subsistence allowances were paid to staff of my Department in respect of attendance at pre-retirement courses delivered by the Centre. During the period July 2006 to the end of January 2007, staff of my Department attended a number of pre-retirement planning courses delivered by the Civil Service Training Centre in Dublin. No travel or subsistence allowances were paid in respect of attendance at these courses.

During February and March 2007, travel and subsistence allowances averaging €504.54 were paid to three members of my Department's staff in respect of attendance at pre-retirement planning courses delivered by the Civil Service Training Centre in Tullamore.
