The technical assistance and training scheme allows the Department to provide support to back to work enterprise allowance recipients, who are engaging in self employment projects, to enhance their chances of success and become independent of the social welfare system. This is a discretionary scheme and there is not an entitlement to the assistance as of right. Take up of the scheme has been very positive in 2010. The revised budget for 2010 has now been committed.

Question No 216 answered with Question No. 211.
