I propose to take Questions Nos. 91, 92 and 93 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the three tables. The figures contained in the these tables relate to those who registered with FÁS Employment Services during the last two years (2008 and 2009) and who are actively seeking work in their relevant sectors or professions.

The tables should not be considered as a total representation of all those registered with FÁS Employment Services who are qualified in the professions referred to by the Deputy. The FÁS Employment Services Management Information System is not designed to provide information on the total number of people registered with FÁS who were previously employed in a specific sector.

There may therefore be other persons registered with FÁS Employment Services who, whilst qualified in one of the areas referred to by the Deputy, may have opted to seek other types of work and will therefore not be included in the tables below. For instance a qualified craftsperson seeking work in a different sector such as the retail sector will not appear in the tables.

In relation to the construction sector, between 2008 and 2009 54,486 people registered with FÁS Employment Services under the occupation categories of skilled manual and semi-skilled/unskilled manual. It is considered that to a large extent these categories comprise persons who would have previously worked in the construction sector.
