The Department for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has no remit with regard to the provision of formal education/qualifications or labour market activation measures. Responsibility for these policy instruments rest with the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Social Protection respectively.

I understand my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Traveller Policy Division within his Department, is working actively to support and co-ordinate ongoing policy development in relation to Travellers in Irish society.
