Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion

1:00 pm

Mr. John McKeon:

There is a lot of information provided at that by a person standing in a room with slides and they go through it. I think the issue is the retention of that information. People only tend to retain the information they need at that point in time. Nine months later when they are eligible for the back to education allowance, they have forgotten they were told about it nine months previously.
