One individual who went from jobseeker's allowance to a scheme in County Kilkenny ended up being paid less on the scheme than he was when he was on jobseeker's allowance. He is married with one child. I am going to give Ms O'Donoghue his payslip now. Would that happen often? Should they be on a level of allowance that is equivalent to what they were on or more, or how is it affected?
