167 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will allocate some funding from the national allocation of European Globalisation Fund funding to enable former SR Technic workers to complete educational courses they have undertaken in order to update their skills to help them find alternative employment; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the EGF funding provided for this purpose is due to expire in October 2011 which is 12 months earlier than the workers anticipated; is it the case that the initial application for funding was made by the former Government in October 2009 and the application was only signed off in October 2010 which meant that the period for funding commenced from the actual date of the application and not the date of approval; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
