I understand from FÃS that a total of 194 persons in North Tipperary are currently awaiting placement on a FÃS training scheme. Of these, 149 persons are waiting for training courses delivered in the county with the remaining 45 persons awaiting places on courses delivered at the FÃS Training Centre in Limerick. Waiting times for placement on these programmes varies from between one and six months depending on the specific initiative. The staff complement working in FÃS facilities in North Tipperary remains at the same level of one year ago. Thus far this year a total of 1721 clients have sought the assistance of FÃS, an increase of 25% from the same period last year. The list below sets out the training programmes currently operating in North Tipperary. FÃS Training Programmes Delivered in North Tipperary
