Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

The IT Department with responsibility for the FÁS website have informed me that they are not aware of any technical problems with the FÁS website in the recent past. I understand that if a technical problem did occur with the FÁS website the problem would be global and would affect all geographic areas. The Jobs Ireland section of the FÁS website has transferred to the Department of Social Protection and is administered by FÁS in the interim.
