View answerThe person concerned has been participating in a Tús employment programme since 18/11/2019. He is in receipt of the maximum personal payment rate of €203 plus an additional allowance of €22.50 in line with current Tús guidelines. His total weekly payment is €225.50.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
