163. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if he will address the consistent lack of computer facilities for jobseekers in the Dún Laoghaire social welfare office (details supplied); the reason new computer facilities have yet to be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Intreo Centre in Dún Laoghaire assists jobseekers in their search for employment by providing a range of activation supports that can be accessed with the support and assistance of case officers.

The JobsIreland website is currently being re-developed and will enhance online job searching and matching. Once the re-development has been completed appropriate computer supports will be available for customers in the Intreo Centre. In the interim case officers have the facility to provide a comprehensive service to customers.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
