Fergus O'Dowd

Ceist:

207 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will investigate the allegation that a FÁS manager tried to induce a member of staff to approve suspect exam results thus breaking exam verification rules and bringing the FÁS examination system into disrepute as recently reported in a newspaper (details supplied).

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

The particular staffing matter referred to by the Deputy is being handled within FÁS on a confidential basis in accordance with established and agreed staff relations procedures. It would, therefore, be inappropriate for me to comment further whilst this process is ongoing.
