In March 2010 the Government decided that the employment and community services programmes of FÁS should transfer to the Department of Social Protection.
All staff in FÁS assigned to the transferring activities transferred to the Department. In relation to central and regional support staff, FÁS invited staff from these functional areas to express an interest in transferring to the Department. Staff who expressed an interest in transferring were considered and then selected on the basis of Seniority/geographic location/business needs.
