Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Textile Workers.
asked the Minister for Labour the steps that are being taken in his Department for retraining and the provision of alternative employment for redundant textile workers in the Blarney area, County Cor...
Would the Minister say how many redundant workers there are, or there will be, and how many have been interviewed by Manpower and would he also indicate what alternative opportunities are likely to be...
The figure of 250 mentioned by the Minister is on the conservative side. Could I ask him whether he expects the remainder who are anxious to be employed will be able to get work in the foreseeable fu...
Will the Minister give a guarantee he will take a personal interest in the provision of employment for the 40 odd people who were engaged in hosiery and in an expansion of employment in Irish Polysacs...
Just one final supplementary. Could the Minister indicate to me, so that I can tell the people in Blarney, what it is the Government work by because in the opinion of the people there and in my opini...
It is very important.
The Government are letting Blarney die.
Will the Minister and his colleagues accept that this is a vital area?
I can tell the Minister snide remarks will not help these people to get bread and butter.
and Mr. Carter asked the Minister for Labour the steps his Department are taking to provide for the retraining and re-employment of the redundant textile workers in Athlone, County Westmeath.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - AnCO Programmes.
Appreciating the need for training and retraining, is the Minister concerned at this stage about the opportunities that will be available for apprentices at the end of these AnCO courses?
While I accept that situation entirely and also support the Minister's efforts at EEC level to get high priority treatment for the unemployment situation here——
Obviously we will have a number of apprentices and a number of trained people who in the short term will find it very difficult to get employment. Could the Minister not ask his colleagues to provide...
Can we be hopeful about the situation?
Is there a suggested change in the allocation of the social fund? Is there a fear that this change may be to our disadvantage?
Is it true to say that money over and above the allocation can be got from the fund?
Not really.
I accept your ruling. I will put down a separate question because it is a matter of national importance.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Labour Court Negotiating Machinery.
asked the Minister for Labour if he will consider restructuring the Labour Court and its conciliation and arbitration services on a regional basis in an effort to expedite and provide a greater local ...
Does the Minister consider that a regional base in a southern or a western area with more local contact would not in fact be a help? As he is aware one of the problems in a local area particularly is...
Is the Minister saying that his idea in the restructuring might be on categorising of particular industries under one umbrella?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Industrial Liaison Officers.
asked the Minister for Labour why it was considered necessary to readvertise the positions of industrial liaison officers in his Department on 14th May, 1975; and if he will outline the changes from t...
There is one part of the question which I do not think the Minister answered, that is the changes from the first advertisement to the second one.
Would the Minister not accept that the reason for the second advertisement was a breakdown in negotiations or consultations?
What kind of labour dispute? Was there not a breakdown in communications from the month of March until such time as an emergency situation arose in the country?
I accept that fully, but would the Minister not now accept that if consultations had been held with the staff in time before the first advertisement was inserted the country would have been saved the...
Is it not true that if——
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Female Workers.
The Minister referred to consultations with the unions. Could I ask him if such consultations have not already taken place?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Youth Training.
In view of statements made in this House and articles written in the newspapers, is the Minister satisfied that we are getting all we are entitled to under the European Social Fund, or is there some p...
Is it true to say that moneys could be available to us, say, for Bord na Móna development——
I shall put down another question.
Capital Gains Tax Bill, 1974: Committee Stage (Resumed).
You do not talk about shooting or I will remind you of a few things when you ran away. You remember Tralee.
Do you want me to tell you more about it?
There are some things I could say.
