Question:129. Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection for the purposes of applications for a back to education allowance, if any or all of the time an Irish citizen has spent in prison in the UK may be taken into account when assessing whether an applicant has been the required minimum number of days on jobseeker's allowance, considering that such time can be taken into account for prison sentences served here; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
