Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

Last night on "Prime Time" a young man who wished to set up a new business in a heritage development near the Grand Canal was interviewed. He could not get the back to work enterprise allowance because to be eligible he had to be on the dole for two years. Yet he had a good business proposal. Is there upcoming social welfare legislation to bring back the period during which one may qualify for back to work allowances including the enterprise allowances?
