The National Employment Service, NES, consists of two strands, the FÃS 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 FÃS. As part of the overall allocation of â¬50.8 million for staff and overheads to the NES, a sum of â¬18m has been provided for the local employment services in 2005.
