Ms Máiréad Coady:

Ms Kavanagh referred to young people being able to travel for work under FÁS. In fact, that is still possible and encouraged through ERASMUS, the European Voluntary Service, EVS, and other schemes. One can spend anything from a month to 12 months being paid to live and work in Europe. The problem, however, is the paperwork and jargon involved, and the fear that is associated with it. I do not know who is responsible for it, but the paperwork should be simplified and put into plain English. The greatest problem for young people and people in general when it comes to Europe is the language and jargon used. Certainly, that would be my experience and that of my friends.
