The chairman of the board of FÁS has said all its members will resign in the wake of a report which showed a massive waste of taxpayer money.
Speaking on RTÉ’s This Week, Peter McLoone said there was no time frame from the Taoiseach or the Tánaiste for the appointment of a new board, but that this was something to be clarified early next week.
He said the present board would co-operate completely with the transition.
Mr McLoone also defended the board's actions and said it had dealt with any issues that came before it and takes responsibility for anything that happened while it was in office.
The move follows criticism of wasteful expenditure, including massive overspending on promotion at the agency.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny accused the Government of wasting time in dealing with the problems at FÁS.
