Questions (82)

Ciaran Lynch

Question:

82 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation his views on changing the practice of paying part-time FÁS trainers only at the end of the contract period in view of the fact that this precludes them from receiving unemployment benefit or assistance for the days they are not working with FÁS and can lead to severe hardship; his further views on the introduction of staged payments as the contract progresses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13509/10]

Written answers

The question of the conditions of employment of FÁS Instructors is a day-to-day staffing matter for FÁS under its functions as provided for in the Labour Services Act, 1987. I have therefore asked FÁS to contact the Deputy directly in the matter.
