Mr. Paul O'Toole:

As the Deputy knows, in the past FÁS had responsibility for both the employment services and the training but it no longer has that. However, we work in conjunction with the Department of Social Protection to ensure there is a flow of data between the Department and ourselves and at a macro level informing the Department of Education and Skills. We have certain tracking systems but as the Secretary General said earlier, we are developing new systems. As part of the development work from Intreo and the development of SOLAS and the new education and training boards, we will develop a new learner database that will plug in and integrate with the Intreo system, so that we can improve our more direct tracking of individuals.
