Comment on this
It is a function of FÁS under the Labour Services Act, 1987, whenever so requested of them, to facilitate and assist persons, in whatever manner FÁS consider necessary or desirable, in obtaining employment in a state that is a member of the European Communities.
The implementation of this provision is a day to day matter for FÁS. I would suggest therefore that the Deputy contact FÁS direct in the matter.
