Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2017: Discussion
10:00 am
Ms Kathleen Stack:
I take Senator Humphrey's comments on board and will certainly consider them, particularly in the context of the 1992 case that he referred to.
Deputy O'Dea asked a question about the overpayments piece and the disqualification piece of nine weeks. What the head intends is that we would stop collecting the overpayment piece for the nine weeks that the disqualification applies so that the two would not run concurrently.
