National response needed for attendance at education & training courses – Rose Conway-Walsh TD

Sinn Féin spokesperson on Higher and Further Education, Research, Innovation & Science, Rose Conway-Walsh TD, has called on Minister Simon Harris to urgently clarify the situation regarding attendance at Youth Reach, apprenticeships and education & training centres.

The Mayo TD said:

“We need a national response from the Minister. It is not good enough to just leave it up to individual Centres and Education & Training Boards to decide.

“Trainees are being forced to travel for unnecessary business while we are in Level 5 and the key message is to ‘stay at home’.

“This is not a time for putting the health of trainees or tutors at risk. We need a consistent approach to training programmes and apprenticeships. 

“Youth Reach is an extension of second level and should be treated in a similar manner when addressing public health issues.

“Trainees need to be reassured that they will not be penalised for non-attendance to any courses that are running this week.”

Communities need to be safe. Nothing less will do.

Now is the time to prioritise public safety, we need to give the Gardaí the support and resources they need, and we need an increased, visible Garda presence on the streets so our communities feel secure.
