It was the second death of a Garda in that area, which is very troubling. In addition, a priest, Fr. O'Donoghue, lost his life in a fire during the week. I just want to add...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Marie Moloney: I thank Ms O'Brien and Mr. Stewart for coming in. I also thank the departmental officials who are really good for coming in whenever we request them to answer our questions. This is an issue I have been raising constantly since I was elected to the Seanad. These guys here will say, "She is off again like a broken record", as I have been fighting the cause of some of these people...

Marie Moloney: What I said was that even when they access jobseeker's allowance, they are not entitled to a credited contribution during that period. This is totally different from the case of anyone else. Ms O'Brien raised the issue of people who could not transition from jobseeker's benefit to jobseeker's allowance. These people can access credits. However, self-employed people cannot do so for some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Marie Moloney: Mr. McKeon is interpreting what I am saying totally incorrectly. I said a person on illness benefit can access the back-to-education allowance but must be on the illness benefit for two years. However, the individual in question was on illness benefit on a short-term basis, perhaps for 13 months. He went to his caseworker six weeks before the day of starting college and nobody advised him...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Activation Services and Supports for the Unemployed: Discussion (14 Oct 2015)

Marie Moloney: It was all a case of falling between stools. Had the individual been given the right advice by the caseworker six weeks prior to going on the back-to-education allowance, he could have signed off on the illness benefit and moved to the jobseeker's benefit.
