FÁS Employment Services provides a range of services and supports to all jobseekers who can register at one of the 63 local FÁS Employment Service Offices nationwide for on-site career guidance and job placement services. FÁS contracts for the delivery of the Local Employment Service (LES) with Partnership Companies in 24 designated disadvantaged areas.

I am advised that staffing cuts in the Northside Partnership LESN did not occur as a result of FÁS budgetary actions, and that the loss of the clerical staff member of the Northside Centre for the Unemployed was a result of the restructuring arrangements made by the Northside Partnership.
