Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I agree with the Minister of State that the rural social scheme exists but nobody wants to take it up. The proof of the pudding is in the eating where the number of places is concerned. Will the Minister of State indicate how many new posts were created at the FÁS head office in the past year and how many supervisors had to be made redundant at the same time to pay for them?
