Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Deputy Dara Calleary)

As Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment I do not have a role in the administration of individual cases. The administration of individual cases is a day-to-day matter for FÁS as part of its responsibility under the Labour Services Act 1987. I have requested that FÁS contact the Deputy directly to outline the full range of supports that might be available to assist the individual concerned.
