121. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if training allowance is payable in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34042/14]
View answerWhere a client is in receipt of a relevant social welfare payment and is successful in acquiring a training place, a training allowance may be payable at the same rate of payment. Under 25 year olds may have their payment increased when partaking in training and education.
The availability of and access to training places is a matter in the first instance for my colleague the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Jan O’Sullivan.
