On the 6th of September Monday,Brian Dobson today interviewed the Director of FAS 'services',Paul o Toole,he was given very few questions,and praised for his efforts in FAS,and so soon.. Paul o Toole stated that the media only put out,and we only hear the '' negative soundbites'',of FAS,which is a complete farce,where are the voices of the FAS ce workers or course attendants in this..as most of what comes out of the mouth of FAS administration and management is going to be of positive spin.. |

Should we take his word for it,he is being back by the government who are essentially responsible for the set up of fas.
Fas are the 'employment wing' of the government for the unemployed and laid off workers..
Not only have the government increased their budget(which no ce worker has seen any of),they get some funds from the government for a name change!
All that talk of changing FAS , in the government was all show,nothing more,and the goverments most dedicated media cronies RTE,didn't give them a hard time..
If that was any other organisation,non goverment etc..they would be shut down almost immediately,and certainly not given a budget increase..
Where is FAS's competition by the way?
while all the political wiggers were enjoying all the trappings and luxuries FAS bring to the well heeled,there was one fas apprentice,who recieved an email while in florida,after having had to pay for his own expenses in florida,recieved an email from FAS,stating that the funds for his journey to NASA had simply run out..

Funny you should write that ( air time ) , i have been writing ' such ' for a good while now ;
Corrupt , the entire fucken system of F.A.S. is as bent as a 9 bob note .
and no i am not a ' pupil ' of FAS , i hold the distinction of being the very 1st person EVER
to be ' sacked ' by FAS , and that was in 1988 .
FAS is a service set up by the government for mulit nationals and other local businesses,this is NOT about services for the people,yet they claim they are in service for the unemployed,but how many of these past and current ce workers,have secured employment as a result of FAS 'services'..?There is no service provided or in place already for the unemployed worker of a ce scheme,yet they say they are an unemployment service..they are a subsidy for local business and the ordinary fas worker is there to provide free labour,and if you have any questions you dare not ask,you are in a world of trouble with FAS.
They are no friend of the unemployed,yet they are there for support for politicians who have been embroiled in scandals just like the former politician(now director of FAS paul o toole) working in the tourist trade,and the 50K expenses he racked up...
Where are the soundbites of the ordinary FAS worker or service user..?
what happened to stephen in florida is no joke and no 'soundbite either',what happened to him is truly scandalous,and there has been scandal after scandal,if he didnt ring joe duffy or bring it to public attention,it would just be another fas complaint letter swept under the corrupt carpet of FAS state sponsored corruption..
He was given no extra funding for moving to florida to go to NASA,and he recieved an email from FAS,while the likes of harney and hubby were off getting expensive blowouts..
i was with fas for 3 months and got fired because i would not put up and shut up,when i was being scapegoated by FAS management(i was a ce worker),they did nothing for me with regard to training,they put me on a back to work course(i was given no other choice),which they said was compulsory and if i did not complete it,i would not be able to continue in FAS..
