Minister for Social Protection

According to the records of this Department, the person concerned has not submitted an application for the back to work enterprise allowance scheme (BTWEA). It is open to the person concerned to contact the Departments Employment Services in Maynooth, to arrange an appointment with a case officer in order to initiate the application process.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
