Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2015
54. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason a request by a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 to do a safe pass course was denied until the person finds employment, when in fact the person had to turn down employment due to not having a safe pass certificate; and if this decision will be reviewed. [18745/15]
View answerThe person concerned made enquiries at Bishop’s Square Intreo Centre regarding attending a Safe Pass Course. He was advised that under the operational guidelines for the Training Support Grant which funds Safe Pass Courses, in order to qualify, an applicant must have a job offer or the potential of a job offer. Until such time as the person concerned can provide evidence of a job offer or a potential job offer this matter cannot be progressed.
