Vol. 455 No. 8
310 Mr. P. Gallagher (Laoighis-Offaly) asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will sanction the participation by a person (details supplied) who is a repeat leaving certificate student to participate in the student summer work scheme this year in view of the fact that in 1994 leaving certificate and repeat leaving certificate students were allowed to participate in the scheme. [12676/95]
The students summer jobs scheme was introduced in 1993 to provide paid work opportunities for less well off third level students who were disqualified from receiving unemployment assistance during their holidays.
The scheme is aimed specifically at third level students and students on post leaving certificate courses and therefore the question of sanctioning participation by the person concerned does not arise.
Since he is not a third level student, the person concerned could not be authorised to participate in this year's scheme.
