This is not to say the scheme was a great administrative success. I have a document which states that 18 prospective candidates of the Galway Youth Federation's young mothers in education project were recently told that there was a four month delay in handling their applications for the back to education allowance administered by the Department of Social and Family Affairs. These candidates were simultaneously given 21 days by the Western Health Board to produce their back to education allowance approvals. What kind of way is this to treat vulnerable people? The people involved are the most vulnerable one could imagine.
