As Minister for Social Protection I do not have a role in the administration of individual cases in regard to the operation of the Community Employment programme. The administration of individual cases under CE is a day-to-day matter for FÁS as part of its responsibility under the Labour Services Act, 1987, as amended by Part 3 of the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2010. I am advised by FÁS that the individual in question has been granted an extension until December 2011 which will be her finish date. FÁS has further advised that nearer to her finish date on CE she should contact her local FÁS Employment Services Office to discuss further employment and training options that may be available to her.
