I propose to take Questions Nos. 58 to 60, inclusive, together.
The following table gives details of the number of people who were disallowed a social welfare payment during the year 2010 because they did not satisfy the habitual residence condition. Due to industrial action which took place during the first half of 2010 , figures in respect of 2010 are incomplete. HRC information in relation to nationality of citizens of countries other than Ireland is not routinely maintained by the Department.
Table:- Number of applicants disallowed HRC during 2010
HRC Disallowances | Irish Nationals | Nationals of Countries other than Ireland | Total |
Carer's Allowance | 51 | 206 | 257 |
Jobseekers Allowance | 463 | 6,768 | 7,231 |
Child Benefit | 57 | 1,431 | 1,488 |
Disability Allowance | 54 | 495 | 549 |
One-Parent Family Payment | 24 | 141 | 165 |
State Pension (Non-Con) | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Total | 650 | 9,043 | 9,693 |
Note:- Data incomplete due to industrial action during 2010
