MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 14, 2011

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

That this Council rejects the Government proposal in the 4 Year Plan to introduce a course fee of €200 for students on PLC courses, requests the Manager to convey this view to the Minister for Education and Skills, and also to convey to the Minister the view of this Council that the cap on the number of PLC places should be lifted for September 2011 to allow County Dublin VEC to increase its intake of PLC students, and the number of PLC courses it provides, in view of the very high levels of unemployment amongst young adults, between 18 and 25 years old, in the County.

REPORT:

Details of this motion, if passed, will be conveyed to the Minister for Education & Skills.
