I propose to take Questions Nos. 402, 403, 404 and 405 together.
Community training workshops are funded on a contract basis by FÁS, and the numbers, outcomes from the programme, qualifications on entry and certification options available are matters for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, to whom identical questions have been directed. The role of my Department in the matter is to allocate teaching hours through the vocational education committees as extra supports for participants with literacy and numeracy difficulties.
