asked the Minister for Labour the names and functions of the commissions, committees, inter-departmental committees, working parties and State-sponsored bodies established by him and abolished by him since taking office.

The information requested by the Deputy is as follows:

Commissions etc. set up

Commissions etc., disbanded

The functions of the disbanded AnCO, Youth Employment Agency and National Manpower Service have been assumed by FÁS.

The work of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Action to assist early school-leavers led to the introduction of Youthreach. This had implications for the Social Guarantee Advisory Board.
