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?

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: People sometimes enter into JobPath more than once. 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...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: I want to return to the public services card. On the issue of biometrics, a couple of weeks ago, the committee received correspondence that indicated that there was funding of, I think, less than €300,000 in the accounts - I cannot recall the particular year - and it specifically identified biometrics. This is an issue on which the Department is in discussion with the Data Protection...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Catherine Murphy: On debt reconciliation related to redundancy debt, it is a risk. Previously, an employer would pay and recoup the payment. There was a change and there was a reluctance to do that. Then there was a delay in paying redundancies because a lot of these happened at the same time. Would the Department identify that as a particular risk? What is the amount of money involved? Some of the money...

What kind of follow-on does the Department do on the individual directors? Is there a liability on the individual directors?
