Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance Scheme
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-29
============================================================

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I wanted to ask about the back to school clothing and footwear allowance. I have already heard the Minister state that it is going to be extended to people on the PUP. She might outline the way in which they might go about making the application and the timing in which they might get it. For some on the Covid payment this might be the first time they have applied. Will the social welfare offices be reaching out to inform them that this is available to them?
