Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments
(12 Nov 2020)

Marc MacSharry: I want to praise the heroic work of the Department in achieving what was done to keep us all in funds in such a short period and during such difficult times, cross-departmentally. There was support from Revenue and other sources, but the Department has outdone itself. In the post-Covid environment, the Department will probably be under savage pressure because expectations will be...

Marc MacSharry: I thank Mr. McKeon. I will conclude by mentioning that the Department is the example in respect of the turnaround time in answering queries from Deputies and Senators, generally. The response time is very good. I wish other Departments would look to the Department of Social Protection as the benchmark in their approach to replying to our queries. I just wanted to put that on record.
