There have been ongoing issues in the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection with the payment of illness benefit in recent months. Many people dependent on these payments have seen them disrupted, reduced or, in some cases, not paid at all. This has caused unnecessary upset and stress to many people who depend on these weekly payments. I would like clarification of the reason for these delays, when the issue will be resolved, and if the Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty, has confidence that these issues will not happen again.
