I propose to take Questions Nos. 105 and 108 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the enclosed tables. Table 1 sets out the type of courses offered from 2007 to date - both at the training centre in Gweedore and on a contracted basis through the training centre. FÁS statistics on the total number of trainees are collated on the basis of those participants who completed their course. Table 2 sets out the total number of participants who have completed training courses at or through Gweedore in 2007, 2008, 2009 and in 2010 as at the end of September. Table 3 sets out the total number of courses delivered at or through Gweedore in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 as at the end of September.
