Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2011
169 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will explain the decision by FÁS not to continue funding for a project (details supplied) and if alternative funding can be found to keep such a vital service running. [26227/11]
View answerI have been informed that the project referred to by the Deputy is not a FÁS project, but has been funded by a Community Training Centre, which itself receives funding from FÁS. Following a review of funding of CTCs, it was determined that FÁS could not continue to provide the CTC with funding for this project as the work carried out by the project does not fall within the remit of FÁS.
