Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 February 2013
157. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Social Protection if there is any financial assistance available for a person wishing to do a training course (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9154/13]
View answerFunding may be available under the Technical Employment Support Grants Scheme (TESGS) in instances where the Employment Services Officer (ESO) identifies that the jobseeker has a support need in order to enter/re-enter the labour market. I would advise the individual concerned to contact the ESO in his area, whose contact details can be obtained from the Department’s Local Office in Carrigaline to discuss the viability of providing financial assistance towards the specified training course.
