142 Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason she has prevented employees in her Department from availing of the family friendly option of term time or leave of absence from FÁS in 2010 due to the public sector moratorium on recruitment in view of the fact that the leave is unpaid and therefore cost neutral and that the vacancy is filled temporarily thus giving a person who is currently unemployed an opportunity to secure an income and gain invaluable experience; if this decision will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10331/10]
View answerThe question of term-time arrangements, as provided for under the Department of Finance Circular 14/2009 on the Shorter Working Year Scheme, is a day-to-day staffing matter for FÁS under its functions as provided for in the Labour Services Act, 1987.
144 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she has ever made representations to FÁS in respect of contract procurement for any company; the details of those contacts; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10397/10]
View answerContracts awarded to companies for services carried out on behalf of FÁS are subject to normal public sector procurement procedures.
