According to the records of this Department no recent application for a jobseekers benefit or jobseekers allowance payment has been made by the person concerned. It is open to the person concerned to call to their local Department of Social Protection Branch Office to make an application for a jobseekers payment.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
