The European Globalisation Fund

The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to support redundant workers. Information about the EGF and the Regulations governing its operations is available here.

Ireland has made six successful applications to the EGF. The services being provided under the three current EGF construction programmes are described here.

On 29th February 2012 the Department of Education and Skills submitted an application seeking co-financing assistance from the EGF for redundant workers at the Talk Talk call centre facility in Waterford and at three ancillary companies. Information on the application is available here.
