Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Social Welfare Entitlements for Self-Employed: ISME, SEA and SFA

2:20 pm

Ms Avine McNally:

I understand that people get ill. However, if a business closes on a particular day the person will not be entitled to any benefit the following day. In considering the introduction of a scheme it will be necessary to ensure people's entitlement to jobseeker's benefit.
