The FÁS safe pass programme is self-financing. In addition to the existing staff administrative costs of managing the scheme, FÁS has this year allocated a further €400,000 to produce approximately 80,000 safe pass cards for construction workers and €100,000 to update the safe pass programme.

The National Employment Service, NES, consists of two strands, the FÁS employment service and the local employment service, LES. The objective of the LES is to focus on the provision of services to the most disadvantaged. The allocation of funding to specific schemes and services is a matter for the board of FÁS. As part of the overall allocation of €50.8 million for staff and overheads to the NES, a sum of €18m has been provided for the local employment services in 2005.
