I understand that the Technical Employment Support Grant, which is administered by the Department of Social Protection is designed to meet the needs of people who are experiencing a barrier in progressing into employment. The individual concerned should contact their local National Employment and Entitlement Services (NEES) office to discuss the options available to them. The DSP/NEES contact for the Galway area is Mr. Joe McGuinness and he can be contacted at joe.mcguinness@welfare.ie .
