I provided €6.6 million to FÁS in 2009 to provide an additional 400 Community Employment places. This therefore does not affect the number of activation training and work experience places for the unemployed which have been increased by 66,000 to 128,000 in 2009. This includes 92,000 training places delivered by FÁS.
