Social Insurance Fund Annual Accounts 2012 (1 May 2014) Áine Collins: I wish to ask about a subject about which one hears a lot on the ground, especially when one talks to business owners.

Social Insurance Fund Annual Accounts 2012 (1 May 2014) Áine Collins: I will ask about the kind of work the Intreo offices are doing, particularly with those who have been unemployed, the retraining, etc. What kind of training are they doing? Are there a lot of soft skills involved? Is it in, and around, building confidence? From speaking to those who have lost their job, if they do not get re-employed in the first six or 12 months their confidence hits an...

Social Insurance Fund Annual Accounts 2012 (1 May 2014) Áine Collins: On a personal note, I have an issue in Charleville, which is part of my constituency, with an activation officer because it is situated at the end of two counties - it is between Limerick and Cork. I have brought it up previously. Charleville has a population of almost 3,500. Ms O'Donoghue might look into it and come back.

Social Insurance Fund Annual Accounts 2012 (1 May 2014) Áine Collins: The issue with domiciliary care, as I understand it, is that it was transferred to the Department in 2009 from the HSE. There is a 60% refusal rate, 60% of the appeals are being accepted but the process is long and cumbersome and applicants can be waiting up to nine or 12 months.

Social Insurance Fund Annual Accounts 2012 (1 May 2014) Áine Collins: In regard to a person's eligibility, my understanding is that a person is entitled to domiciliary care where a child has extra needs due to a condition, but sometimes the condition cannot be identified or there might be no diagnosis. For example, there may be a case of a person with very serious learning difficulties but, as such, no diagnosis.
