Applicants for a range of social assistance payments must satisfy the condition of being habitually resident in Ireland and they must also satisfy a means test.

The jobseeker’s allowance application of the person concerned is currently with a Social Welfare Inspector for investigation. The Inspector has made several attempts to meet with the person concerned but has been unable to do so. Once the person makes themselves available for interview a decision on the application can be made.
