Gay Mitchell
Question:245 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will review the back-to-work allowance scheme as persons, such as a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12, who would find this scheme attractive except for the fact that his local authority rent is likely to increase from £8.90 per week to £27 per week; if he will consult with the Minister for the Environment and try to remove this anomaly which does not appear to pertain in other schemes such as the social employment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
