A broadly representative working group is considering the most appropriate mechanisms for the deployment of the anticipated support from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for workers made redundant at the DELL computer manufacturing plant in Raheen and associated enterprises.

The probability is that EGF interventions and supports will be largely delivered through State agencies and educational institutions. However, any role which other service providers such as private colleges can usefully play in this context is also being considered. In the event that redundant workers involved wish to avail of developmental programmes delivered by the private sector, I intend to facilitate them in doing so.
