Management Training and Support Scheme Funding

Summary

Clohessy requested scheme funding allocations for management and trade union participants from 1985 to 1987; Ahern referred him to a circulated table and noted that assistance had been very restricted since 1985. Colley said the table did not provide all the information she sought, but the Ceann Comhairle declined to reopen the question for a supplementary.

asked the Minister for Labour the amounts of funding which have been allocated under the management, training and support scheme to management and trade union participants respectively in the years 1985 to 1987 inclusive.

The information requested by the Deputy is given in the tabular statement which is being circulated in the Official Report.

Sorry, Deputy it would be unprecedented to go back on questions.

If the Deputy is dissatisfied she has ways and means of dealing with the matter.

I am not dissatisfied at all.

I should like to. I have always hesitated to disallow the Deputy but she is asking me to go back on a question already disposed of.

Comment on this

I did not expect it to be disposed of with a tabular statement.

Usually in respect of a tabular statement the Deputy awaits the information contained therein.

Comment on this

I am afraid that all the information that was sought is not in it.

I am sorry, I shall not be set aside on this issue. Question No. 8 please.
