Complaints made to FÁS are normally resolved locally. Complaints that are not resolved locally are referred to the FÁS Client Services Coordinator at FÁS Headquarters. If they are not resolved at this stage they are referred to the Clients Services Commissioner.

The following table lists the number of complaints received by the FÁS Client Services Coordinator from 2007 to 2010 (year-to-date) inclusive, the number that are resolved and the number referred on to the Client Services Commissioner or other body.

I am advised that collating the detailed information required by the Deputy is a huge task, would take a considerable amount of time to complete and would involve a disproportionate amount of resources when set against FÁS's main day-to-day remit.
