Questions (403)

Seán Canney

Question:

403. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will reverse austerity measures made during the financial crash regarding FET learners payments, as many prospective students are not able to take up places on suitable courses as the payment they would receive is well under that of a full weekly social welfare payment, despite them having travel and food costs and other costs associated with attending a course; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

FET learners payments is the responsibility of the Minister for Further and Higher Education Research Innovation and Science and the question should therefore be re-directed.
