Comment on this
: As I informed the House recently in the course of my speech when introducing the Estimates for my Department, the need for the continued separate financing of CERT for training in the hotel and catering industry, rather than through the main Exchequer grant for industrial training paid to AnCO, is at present being examined. For this purpose I have set up a review group representative of my own Department, CERT, AnCO, Bord Fáilte and the Department of Education. I have asked the group to report their findings to me as soon as possible.
