Adult Education Provision
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-17
============================================================

Matt Shanahan (IND), Waterford

In my constituency, the Dunhill Multi-Education Centre and Dunhill Community Alert invite people in to speak on issues. Recently, John Lonergan very kindly came and spoke about the issues of the Prison Service and so on. These people have to travel at their own expense. There is no funding. We are not looking for funding for that but realistically, I am talking about community centres being able to provide onward learning initiatives, particularly to the rural adult population who find it difficult to access services in the urban centres. They may not want to go on extensive courses but they need short-term opportunities wherever they might arise. Anything the Department can do to facilitate and promote that would be most welcome.
