"I welcome the overwhelming approval today by the European Parliament to approve the allocation of EUR 55 million of EU Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aid for the retraining of construction industry workers in Ireland. The three Irish North West MEPs initially approached the Irish Government with the proposal to seek funding from Europe. I am very pleased that our efforts have borne fruit and that this funding will now be available to retrain and up skill construction industry workers adversely affected by the slump in their sector. It is an imperative that every effort is made to ensure that the best possible opportunities are identified to equip workers for future employment opportunities. The three applications on behalf of 5,987 Irish construction industry workers will total EUR 55 million, of which the EU will provide EUR 35 million and Ireland EUR 20 million. The package of measures will include training programmes and training allowances, 2nd and 3rd level education programmes and supports, and redundant apprentices training programmes and supports."@en1
