Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

FÁS is actively providing training for foreign workers in this country. There are obligations on the employers to facilitate the proper integration of employees and many are fulfilling them. In terms of small and medium enterprises, SMEs, there are issues relating to economies of scale and capacity. A variety of schemes is available to companies if they wish to work with us. We will be responsive, as will FÁS.
