2. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she is aware of cases in which individuals are, as a result of participating in the basic income for artists scheme, being pursued with debt letters for thousands of euro in social protection overpayments, with no warning given prior to or following the commencement of the scheme that individuals on jobseeker's allowance would face such negative consequences; and to explain why the poorest arts workers must rely on the basic income to cover basic living costs and give up their main social welfare payment while still seeking employment, when at the same time those already earning from employment can use the basic income to pursue a career in the arts while maintaining their full income.
