As outlined in the answer to the Deputy's previous parliamentary questions, the reduction of 5,000 in staffing levels as announced by the Government in 2002 applies to all sectors of the public service. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and its agencies, including FÁS, are expected to contribute to this reduction. In the case of FÁS, a reduction of 150 over a number of years from a staffing level of almost 2,400 has been and is still considered appropriate.
