Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned was interviewed by an officer from the Maynooth Employment Service’s office on the 12 July 2013 and on that day she applied for two computer courses. In October 2013 the person concerned informed the Department that she wished to withdraw her applications for the courses due to domestic circumstances and since then she has not been in contact with the Maynooth Employment Service’s office. It is open to the person concerned to re-engage with the Department’s Employment Services to explore the options available to her.
