Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Social Welfare Benefits: Discussion with Department of Social Protection

1:40 pm

Ms Mary Kennedy:

I will bring that back to my colleagues and we can clarify the position in that regard. If it would help, I can send the Chairman a note on what is the procedure in this regard. I simply do not have that level of detail to hand. However, I spoke to them in a general way and took up the points that were raised by members the last time we spoke to the joint committee. I wish to confirm that the kind of issues that were raised the last time around should not continue to be a concern because the clear instruction is one does not ask someone to deregister or to give back a PSV licence and so on, because that would prevent them from being in a position to earn an income, which is not what we want to do at all.
