Mr. Paul Carroll:

The Department is very flexible in trying to assist people getting back to work or progressing and I ask Senator Moloney to pass on to me the details of the individual. While there is certain conditionality with regard to receiving the back to education allowance it should be such that if the young person had an entitlement before he started, which he did because at present he is on Springboard, he can work during the summer and it is certainly something I would encourage.
