One of the social welfare inspectors based in Arklow has had a number of short absences due to illness in the past two months and the person concerned has been on sick leave since 27 April. The Department has no immediate plans to provide cover for the current absence but the matter will be kept under ongoing review. In the meanwhile, arrangements will be made by regional management to ensure that all cases are dealt with without undue delay.
