Comment on this
I propose to take Questions Nos. 8 and 13 together. The total amount of money received by Ireland from the European Social Fund in 1988 up to the end of September was £91 million of which £46 million was in respect of FÁS programmes. A further £65 million is expected to be paid before the end of the year of which £31 million relates to FÁS programmes.
The breakdown of the FÁS receipts over the various programmes is a matter for FÁS and I would suggest, therefore, that the Deputy contact FÁS directly if he requires information on any individual scheme.
