In order to be eligible for a VTOS allowance an applicant must be in receipt of either unemployment benefit or unemployment assistance for at least six months. This training allowance is paid in lieu of a person's unemployment benefit or assistance entitlement.

Based on the information supplied by the deputy, the person in question does not appear to meet the VTOS eligibility criteria. However, I would suggest that he should contact the Adult Education Organiser, CDU, Sundrive Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12 (tel. 4565487) for advice on the adult education options that may be available to him.
