Ceist:

127 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if, in relation to the recent reply, she has made representations to FÁS in relation to, or on behalf of, an undertaking or individual, seeking to procure goods or services into FÁS; the identity of any such undertaking or individual; if they subsequently became a supplier to FÁS; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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

Contracts awarded to individual(s) or companies for services carried out on behalf of FÁS are subject to normal public sector procurement procedures. The question of representations to FÁS by any representative of this Department on behalf of any individual(s) or companies in the context of seeking to procure services into FÁS, therefore, does not arise.
