Question:61 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will rectify an anomaly in the FÁS training course system which does not allow women, whose spouses' earnings are over guidelines set down by the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs for unemployment assistance, to obtain places on FÁS training courses as they are deemed ineligible when not in receipt of social welfare benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
