Question 600: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Bord Iascaigh Mhara is providing subsidised marine safety training to the commercial sector, thus putting the private training companies which are Government approved, at a disadvantage in view of the fact that they are unable to compete with Government subsidised training and jobs in the sector are being put at risk; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) is an independent statutory body and the main provider of vocational training to the seafood industry. I have requested a report on the issues raised by the Deputy from the BIM Chairperson.
