I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I raised this question following anecdotal evidence from some constituents regarding certain courses they are attending which they believe are not properly organised. They do not feel they are getting proper value for the time they are putting in. As we are moving to having FÁS courses contracted out, we need to ensure quality is maintained. While I appreciate the reply the Minister of State has given, I am hearing this evidence. In some cases students, having been on a course for three ,weeks are given the criteria to be used in an assessment which has been scheduled for just three days later. Is such information about courses being relayed back to the Minister of State or to those monitoring the courses to ensure ongoing and continued improvements?
