I propose to take Questions Nos. 120 to 122, inclusive, together.
The allowance for 16 year-olds on Youthreach, Community Training Centre and FÁS courses is €76.65. The allowance for 17 year-olds on Youthreach, Community Training Centre and FÁS courses is €95.75. Both of these rates will be reduced, for new entrants only, to €40, with effect from 1 January 2012. The related savings are estimated to amount to €2.8m in 2012. A total of 691 16-year olds and 940 17-year olds on a Youthreach course were in receipt of an allowance as at 31/12/2010. A total of 595 16-year olds and 844 17-year olds on a Community Training Centre or FÁS course were in receipt of an allowance as at end November 2011.
