Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I told the Minister I believe there is a strong case for merging the income support and employment support services, which is the tendency in many OECD countries. I ask that the Minister keep an open mind in this regard and consider it for the future.

Has the memorandum of understanding shared by the Department and FÁS achieved the desired outcome? The Minister stated it is under review, but when was the last time it was updated?
