Question:42 Mrs. Owen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the proportion of the 2,000 extra places added to the community employment programme taken up to date in 1998. [13371/98]
Written Answers. - Community Employment Schemes.
On foot of the 1998 budget, 1,000 additional places were added to the community employment part-time job option and 1,000 places added to the whole-time jobs initiative. I have no role in the allocation of places under the community employment programme. Such decisions are day to day operational matters for FÁS.
I will obtain the information for the Deputy from the FÁS Oireachtas Liaison Unit and will forward it directly to her. If the Deputy wishes to contact the unit directly she may do so at Tel. No. (01) 6070500, address 27-33 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 4, in order to obtain this information.
