I do not have a role in the administration of individual cases in FÁS. The case referred to by the Deputy is a day-to-day matter for FÁS as part of its responsibilities under the Labour Services Act, 1987 as amended.

Where persons are entitled to a social welfare payment from before the start of a FÁS training course but their eligibility is not determined until after they have completed the course, a retrospective payment of the training allowance for the duration of the training course will be made.
