    I'm 18, have just finished my leaving and I'm doing a plc course in September.
    Can you get the dole while doing it ?

    If the parents of an 18 year old plc course student are getting welfare icluding Fis, they can countinue to get payment for the 18 yo on their claim.

    No, FIS. You can still get FIS. That's 20e upwards. Are you currently working? And is it just the one child?

    No.. Not working at present.. So FIS is out of the question.

    Got 4 kids... One already in College and 2 other are still in Secondary.

    You are entitled to a grant same as any college student, the "dole" is paid to those actively seeking employment.

    Yes.

    The first one in College is already getting it, and has re-applied for September.

    Just trying to cover all options.

    My Daughter has applied, and is waiting for confirmation.
