Availability for work and literacy courses

Summary

Higgins seeks an Adjournment debate on unemployment assistance being withdrawn from people taking literacy courses, including an investigation in Connemara; the Ceann Comhairle says he will communicate with him.

We will now deal with Questions nominated for priority.

I give notice that I wish to raise on the Adjournment the interpretation of the term "availability for work" since it is causing hardship to those taking literacy courses who have had their unemployment assistance removed from them and also because of an investigation which is currently taking place in the Lettermore-Lettermullan area of Connemara.
