People from Co. Meath participate on FÁS training courses in all regions throughout the 26 counties. The numbers are set out in the table. Requests for certification are processed in the region in which the training takes place and the methodology used varies depending on the programme type. To establish who has yet to be awarded certification would require significant resources and time. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide this information at this time.
