The breakdown of the FÁS budget for 2009 and 2010 is set out in the table below. The figures as set out for 2010 in relation to FÁS administration and general expenses will be reduced as part of the Revised Estimates process to take account of the reduction in the public sector pay bill as announced on Budget day. The additional short term training places announced in the Budget for 2010 will be funded from the 2010 FÁS Budget and will be delivered through efficiency savings.
