The person concerned attended the Intreo Centre Ballyfermot on 1/5/2015 to enquire about participating on a Momentum Course. The qualifying criteria for participation on a Momentum course requires the claimant to have 312 paid days on their relevant jobseekers claim in the previous 18 months, however the person concerned has just 249 paid days currently. It is open to the claimant to reapply for another similar Momentum course when the qualifying criteria are satisfied.
