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
