2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: I am almost afraid to raise the issue of JobPath because if I do, I know a number of people who have engaged with the service will make contact with my colleagues. It depends on what is counted in terms of value for money. I have no problem with there being a case management system. It is welcome that people are helped to have a plan. I am not wild about the outsourcing of it but I have a...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have a very limited amount of time so if the witness does not mind, I will direct particular questions at him. The narrative has not changed in terms of people who make contact. It is the point I make. Customer satisfaction in people's minds might relate to something from a shop not fulfilling what is supposed to, for example. There is a different kind of mindset. There are particular...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: If it comes to a point of renewing contracts, it is something that would be considered as the needs are different in a growing economy. Just because an economy is growing does not mean it will continue to grow. I presume it is factored in.

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: In that context, the introduction of the JobPath scheme had an impact on the likes of community employment schemes. If we counted community employment schemes only with respect to progression, a different measurement may arise, as some of the community employment schemes fulfil quite significant roles in communities. They include the likes of meals on wheels, the running of football clubs...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have a question on the public services card. There is legislation for the use of the card by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. When there was discussion around other Departments using it, what was decision when it came to whether there was a legal competence or status to use the card?

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: One of the concerns of some people was that with the range of different Departments using it for different processes, such as driver licences, it was almost turning into a national identity card by stealth. If we are to have one, we should have a debate and it should not happen by stealth. There were question marks over the legal status of Departments to use the card. I would have thought...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: I will move to the Social Insurance Fund. We have an ageing population and there is a cost so Exchequer subventions will need to increase by €1.7 billion to 2025 and €5.6 billion to 2035. That reflects the ratio of employed people to pensioners, in the main. What are the figures for those ratios?

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: What relationship would that have with, for example, the national development plan and national planning framework? There is a cross-relationship with this where there is an expectation the population will grow. I presume the actuarial assessment or review looked at projected population growth. Is it possible to do that?

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: I go back to another aspect of disability payments. Deputy Burke spoke about the length of time it takes to process carer's allowance. One is looking at situations with carer's benefit, for example, where someone has to leave work due to a stroke and there can be a delay. That needs to happen quickly as a person can be at work and suddenly have to depend on social welfare. As the person...

The full range of information is needed to make a decision. However, I have seen cases reversed or where there is a more favourable treatment where there has not been much additional information. My question is whether it would be useful to look again at the process for value...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Catherine Murphy: We saw many mis-categorised as self-employed in the construction sector some years ago. We then saw it in a different context when the crash happened and people did not qualify for payments. They had presumed that they would continue to be self-employed. Is such a person categorised under a class S stamp?
