Mr. Conor Dunne:
There was an issue with this CE scheme in Cashel. Funding stopped. There has been no loss to FÁS, but the Garda has been informed and is following up on certain matters. An issue was noted and we stopped the funding immediately. We owned the money. The State has lost no money, but there is a problem with the scheme. It has been handed over to the Department of Social Protection and the Garda is actively investigating it. I do not want to discuss it further, as it is sensitive.
