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

I have repeatedly acknowledged the ongoing commitment of the staff of FÁS in meeting the employment and training challenges that currently face the country. I am confident that the enhanced internal financial controls now in place within FÁS, which are underpinned by the recently enacted Labour Services (Amendment) Act, together with the appointment of a new Board and Director General, will enable FÁS to pursue its core mission with renewed vigour.
