Question 76: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, further to Question No. 301 of 15 February 2005, if he will review the policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12010/05]

As I outlined in my answer to the Deputy's question of 24 February, the reduction of 5,000 in staffing levels as announced by the Government in 2002 applies to all sectors of the public service. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and its agencies, including FÁS, are expected to contribute to this reduction. In the case of FÁS a reduction of 150 over a number of years from a staffing level of almost 2,400 is considered appropriate and in the circumstances I do not propose to review the situation.
