The Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that the appeals from the persons concerned were referred to an Appeals Officer who has decided to convene an oral hearing in both cases.

Every effort will be made to hear the cases as quickly as possible and the persons concerned will be informed shortly of the arrangements for the oral hearing.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister for Social Protection and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions in relation to social welfare entitlements.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
