Local TD Brendan Smith has said there is an urgent need for further funding to ensure the resumption of adult education classes in Cavan and Monaghan.
Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Smith said that some adult education classes planned for the autumn had been deferred.
Deputy Smith said.adult education classes have been extremely important for a huge number of learners on an annual basis and they have enabled people to develop skills and obtain qualifications that literally changed their lives. "In Cavan-Monaghan, thanks to the good work of the education and training boards (ETBs) over many years, we have had active and dynamic programmes.
Unfortunately, a number of the planned autumn programmes in adult education in Cavan and Monaghan have been deferred. The Cavan Monaghan TD said ETBs were encouraged to extend the range of courses and now the necessary funding has not been provided.
