I will primarily focus on Mr. O'Toole's organisation. I agree with Deputy Harris regarding the good work that we regularly encounter FÁS doing in our communities. This work never gets headlines in the press but it valuable none the less and some excellent people have dedicated their entire careers to working with FÁS. That needs to be acknowledged. The dissolution of FÁS and the transfer of its functions should not be seen as a reflection on these individuals' work.

Mr. O'Toole outlined the process of transformation in FÁS. When is it expected that the sign will be taken down from the organisation's door? I am not sure what will happen to Mr. O'Toole or his board. I assume the board has to dissolve and his position become redundant. When does he expect the door to be locked?
