This is a day to day operational matter for FÁS. The person referred to was registered as an apprentice electrician in August 2005; his current status on the FÁS apprenticeship system is "Unemployed" rather than Redundant. In order to participate in the Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme 2012 (RAPS), FÁS requires documentary evidence of redundancy in the form of a letter from an apprentice's last FÁS approved apprenticeship employer, on company headed paper, confirming the date of redundancy. FÁS have advised me that a letter is being sent by registered post to the person's former employer seeking the relevant information.
