I am informed by FÁS that the information being sought by the Deputy is complex and requires a considerable amount of time to collate. At present FÁS is in the process of examining its records to establish the circumstance where statutory redundancy has been paid to participants on community employment, CE, schemes. There is a high throughput each year on CE schemes of between 7,000 and 9,000 participants, with new entrants joining schemes as previous participants complete their duration on CE. In addition, there is mobility between the various CE schemes. I am informed by FÁS that it will provide the information during March.
