I propose to take Questions Nos. 500 and 505 together.
I refer to the reply to Question Reference No. 24632 of 9th June 2010.
FÁS met with workers representatives on 11th June to inform them of the EGF situation to date. The Department is actively taking steps to identify a suitable EGF services coordinator and to establish a Steering Committee, to include workers representatives, with a view to such a Committee meeting later this month. In the interim FÁS continues to coordinate relevant EGF related measures locally.
