Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

I am informed by FÁS and the Community Services Unit, West region, that a significant proportion of its complement of CE places has been allocated. FÁS West region, is however still in a position to accommodate some new entrants and up to 30 vacancies are now in the process of being filled.
