Wed 03 Mar 2010Responsibility for Fás divided between three departments
TRAINING AGENCY:RESPONSIBILITY FOR State training agency Fás is to be split between three departments, in a move described as “joined-up thinking” by a Government spokesman, but criticised as a “botch job” by the Opposition.
The jobseeking and community employment services of Fás will come under the auspices of the Department of Social and Family Affairs, which will be renamed the Department of Social Protection. Responsibility for skills and training policies will be reallocated to the Department of Education and Science, which will be renamed the Department of Education and Skills.
