Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 February 2005
305 Ms Burton asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the serious situation facing a centre (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if his Department will assist it to find alternative accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5018/05]
View answerThe centre in question runs a community employment project, CE, which is funded by FÁS. I am informed by FÁS that it will assist the centre to find alternative affordable premises. It is the practice of FÁS to provide a standard payment to sponsors of CE projects. This is based on the number of participants and supervisors. In addition, a contribution is given towards the costs of materials and the personal development and training of participants.
