    Does anybody know if someone inducted into the new Pathways to Work programme will lose their eligibility for the BTEA?

    Say it's approaching the time a course is about to begin and one is called before the programme, will they have to forgo it?

    Barry Cowen mentioned it last night on RTE's Frontline but I cannot really make out what he was saying although it sounded like he was saying:
    There's no clarity on.... ...is the joined up thinking between the Department of Education? Yes there is, the Back to Education Allowance has been lost.

    I'm not sure exactly what he meant.

    Ask your local TD to ask Joan Burton this question in a parliamentary question

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
