As I said in my earlier reply, FÁS training allowances are aligned to a person's entitlement to supports for jobseekers and Department of Social and Family Affairs rules. Consequently, where a trainee is entitled to a DSFA benefit at course commencement, he/she will receive a FÁS training allowance for the duration of the training course. If a trainee is not entitled to a DSFA benefit at the commencement of the training course then he or she will not receive a training allowance.
