Question 142: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason she has prevented employees in her Department from availing of the family friendly option of term time or leave of absence from FÁS in 2010 due to the public sector moratorium on recruitment in view of the fact that the leave is unpaid and therefore cost neutral and that the vacancy is filled temporarily thus giving a person who is currently unemployed an opportunity to secure an income and gain invaluable experience; if this decision will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
