Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I agree with the Minister and with Deputy Enright. Reform is needed in this area. I do not want to miss the opportunity presented to ask the Minister to impress upon her colleague, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment that FÁS clearly needs freshening up. It does some great work and the bad news coverage of the bad practices in the organisation was unfortunate. Does the Minister agree that FÁS should liaise with some enterprise development groups to facilitate discussion to encourage and help the many people who want to return to work and to create their own jobs to do so?
