116. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the correct level of allowance or top-up payable in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who is currently attending a training course in Newbridge, County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31825/14]
View answerThe allowance payable to the client concerned, as determined by his social welfare entitlement, is €402.20 per week. This is made up of a personal allowance of €188.00, an adult dependant allowance of €124.80 and three child dependant allowances of €29.80.
Peripheral allowances such as travel and meal allowance are administered by the local Education and Training Board (ETB), in this case the Athlone Training Centre for Kildare Wicklow ETB.
