The budget for FÁS is agreed on the basis of detailed discussions between my Department, FÁS and the Department of Finance in the context of the annual Estimates process. Plans for the funding of FÁS in 2010 will be published in the book of estimates later this month following the Budget.

In relation to job initiative schemes in the Tallaght region, this is a day-to-day matter for FÁS as part of its responsibility under the Labour Services Act 1987.
