Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This is a peculiar case because the person in question has, in effect, been done out of a position by FÁS because there was an amalgamation of the workers from the KWCD partnership, which collapsed overnight, and the Dublin 12 Congress Centre took on some of the workers. The woman in question facilitated FÁS by allowing her to be categorised as additional administrative support rather than the mainstream position she was initially employed to do. She has confirmation in writing from one of the then directors of FÁS that she would have her terms and conditions guaranteed. She has asked via the centre that the Department would engage with the Labour Court on the matter but it has refused. In addition, she asked if she could be re-engaged on the JI scheme. The information she has is that people were re-engaged after the change to which the Minister referred. Could the Minister assure me that nobody who was previously on JI has been re-engaged on JI since 2002?
