Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will provide funding to a local FÁS community employment scheme in Clogh, Castlecomer, County Kilkenny under the 2008 to 2009 scheme for additional workers; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

  Deputy Mary Coughlan: There is a Community Employment Project currently operating in the Clogh/Moneenroe area and it caters for 27 participants. However, due to budget restrictions, there are no further places available. FÁS is available to meet with a Community representative to discuss their needs as required.
