Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (Cork South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I very much accept that Department officials are hard-working and sincere people who administer millions upon millions of claims. It is not my view that there are any issues with regard to people's bona fides but I do believe that a review such as this would have had to involve a meeting and a discussion. I have to accept the Minister's word up to a point. Will the Minister tell us how many people were affected? When will they receive their letters? They will have only missed out on a couple of weeks but will they receive that money back?
