Jobseeker's Benefit
3:00 pm
Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)
I accept what the Minister is saying and the matter is complex. There are ways in which the complexity will be addressed to ensure people are not benefiting where they are in part-time work and earning a substantial wage. That can be addressed through a means test. Does the Minister intend reporting in the next few months or is it an ongoing process? There is an urgency in respect of part-time and casual workers given the changes. Will we hear back by December or will it be a longer-term change?
