A little story about applying for grants or bursaries . A few years ago I was Chairman of my local Summer Project .The Irish youth Council recieved a load of coin off the government that was collected through the Criminal assetts board to distribute among youth groups .Summer projects did not meet the criteria as they were not full time youth services .But That didnt stop me .I looked up the patrons of the Irish Youth Council and saw Joe Dolan and Bill Penny apples were on the board so I got an application then Filled it in in Irish then Dropped it in to Renaults HQ on the Kylemore Road for the Att of Irish Youth Foundation care of Apples .Now what I was depending on was Apples would send that over in a Renault Envelope with a cover note and that someone in the Council office that could read Irish would be asked to approve it .It might be the only time they ever had the power to do this so were more likely to pass it or else somebody who could not read Irish might see the Renault Envelope and think Bill was recomending us .We got funding .Moral of the story always apply you can rely on somebody below your pay grade to approve it if they dont and you think you should of gotten it you can appeal .

Think it was Churchill said ."When circumstances change I change my mind " hope you get sorted .Be interesting to see if they use the bundle you got as an excuse not to reinstate you .
I rang yesterday before applying to get info on that. I might as well have been talking to the back of me bollix. "I'll pass that on to the relevant person and you'll get a call before the day is out" Guess what....
Any filled out the online application. I'm watching my MyWelfare inbox like a hawk. If I see a quare number ringing I'll know there's a problem. That was a grant to help get you restarted. There shouldn't be a problem. I don't remember seeing anything in the fine print about returning it if the whole kip nosedived again. We'll see what happens.....
