When I saw the word Fas, the first thing that flashed in my mind was "waste of money". And, sure enough, one of the most infamous public expenditure Bermuda Triangles lives on true to form. Ok, Fas is not the financial Chernoybl that BOI, AIB and Anglo have turned out to be but it should have been closed down long ago for all the good it did.

Another example of inept political management. No one should be surprised.

That is what I call excessive. Word I have heard through various vines is that they are going to pass some building trade courses on to Dept of Enterprise , Trade and Employment but as I say its only rumour. Who are the possible candidates for the jobs Troubleshooter?

Sweet suffering Jesus.
And then they have the nerve to ask for extra taxes and levies while this type of bollox goes on!
Too much money and not enough accountability in that farce organisation.

the dating agency is a good site with a few changes it could work as an introduction between
employers and future employees rather that a link to DSP and its old site which will not change until 2015

Good thinking. But I'm not sure if it mightn't lead to inappropriate staff-employer relations.

Are FAS staff not very busy going on to other websites non core related ? I am told after this morning launch that intro.ie has increased it registrations by 1000s
