Public Accounts Committee

Bogus Self-Employment: Discussion

12:30 pm

Mr. Martin McMahon:

That can already happen within the existing legislation. There are cases deemed too complicated by the social welfare appeals office and they can be referred to the Circuit Court. The social welfare appeals office has shown that it is incapable of making decisions according to case law. Therefore, by default, it should refer them all to the Circuit Court, taking it out of the hands of the social welfare appeals office altogether.
