115. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the details, including the course name of all education and training courses advertised for a training centre (details supplied), in County Donegal in each of the years 2017, 2018 and to date in 2019; the maximum course intake versus the actual number of applicants each course received for each of these years in instances in which a course was advertised for the centre but was subsequently delivered at an alternative centre; the details of each such course; the reason for the decision to change the centre; the location of the centre in which the course was later delivered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been informed by Donegal ETB that no courses were advertised for the Gaoth Dobhair centre which were subsequently delivered at an alternative centre. Donegal ETB also advised that any courses which were advertised and which did not receive sufficient numbers were either postponed or cancelled if a course proved to be non-viable due to a lack of interest. However, the same course can be planned for a number of locations, to start at different times, but this does not mean that one course replaces another.
Donegal ETB has provided the attached list of courses offered at the Gaoth Dobhair Training Centre during 2017, 2018, and 2019, and the number of trainees who attended.
