Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2017
670. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if the waiting time is set in legislation or a statutory instrument to qualify for the community employment scheme, Tús or back-to-education allowance (details supplied); and if so, the legislation or statutory instrument that references same. [42749/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the schemes referred to by the Deputy are not statutory schemes, their terms and conditions are not set out in legislation. These administrative schemes are governed by the operating guidelines which are updated by my Department from time to time. Guidelines covering the rules of each scheme are available at: www.welfare.ie.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
