Circumstances change very rapidly. I know that cuts were agreed in the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness and that there is to be a review within FÁS. It was said this was because FÁS was established to provide temporary employment opportunities for people in disadvantaged areas or the long-term unemployed. With the arrival of the Celtic tiger it was felt such schemes were no longer needed. With the widespread announcement of job losses I am afraid the context in which the decisions to make such cuts were made has changed. I accept that cuts are inevitable and that they are only beginning, but I also think they are necessary. I hope too much damage is not done.
