  620.  Ms Cooper-Flynn  Information on Beverley Cooper-Flynn  Zoom on Beverley Cooper-Flynn   asked the Minister for Education and Science  Information on Mary Hanafin  Zoom on Mary Hanafin   the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo in receipt of an EU pension was denied access to a VTOS course in County Mayo two weeks after commencing the course. [32779/05]

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin): Information on Mary Hanafin  Zoom on Mary Hanafin  To be eligible for VTOS a person must be in receipt of a specified payment from the Department of Social and Family Affairs. A dependent spouse of someone in receipt of such a payment may also apply to join a VTOS programme. Payments other than those already recognised for this purpose cannot be deemed to meet the eligibility requirement. Inquiries are being made with the VEC to clarify the position in this case.
