Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: The amount of money being used predominantly for housing demonstrates the crisis we are currently in. I just wanted to make that point. I refer to administrative expenses. Bank charges of €2.2 million and negative interest of 1.1% were incurred in 2018. I ask the witnesses to explain how the Department receives money and whether there are ways of reducing or avoiding the amount...

Has the Department carried out an evaluation of how much of that money is due to transactions, bank charges and so on? Has the Department evaluated the cost-effectiveness of An Post, for example?

In today's correspondence we received a reply from Mr. McKeon on the public services card. It included an assessment of the public services card project which outlines what is or is not done and what stage everything is at. The benefits realisation plan does not appear to have been assessed. The organisation's capacity to undertake the project does not seem to have had a full...

On the ongoing issue in regard to the Data Protection Commissioner, what questions were asked? I am not asking for the legal advice because I know that it will not be available. Rather, I am asking what queries and concerns Mr. McKeon raised with the Attorney General.

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: I might come back to that. Before doing so, I want to ask a question on Turas Nua and JobPath. There is concern in regard to one of the providers using a server outside of the jurisdiction, which is an online CV builder. Was a sanction imposed on that provider? Was this even known and, if so, how did Mr. McKeon learn of it?

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: I thank Mr. McKeon. It is constantly mentioned that we are at a below 5% unemployment rate. Hopefully, that will continue or it will reduce further. In the Celtic tiger era, 5% was generally regarded as full employment yet we are still awarding contracts for Turas Nua and JobPath. What is the thinking behind this?

Are there changes in the way in which they are dealt with when they enter the scheme on more than one occasion? I continue to hear complaints about this scheme, although not on a weekly basis or anything like that. One complaint related to a person who had completed a degree in nursing and had signed on while awaiting accreditation and...
