78. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to any discrepency on a county basis between the number of hours of lessons offered to participants on HGV driving courses for which participants have received funding from FÁS; the reasons for such a discrepency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am not aware of the issue raised by the Deputy but if he can provide some additional information I would be happy to have the matter looked into further. However, I understand that the majority of HGV driving courses are funded under the Technical Employment Support Grant which is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection.
