As the Deputy is aware incorrect bank details were provided by the person concerned when completing their application form.  My Department’s Accounts Branch contacted the recipients’ bank with a view to having the monies recalled.  Unfortunately the efforts to date have been unsuccessful.  My Department will issue formal correspondence to the company involved seeking to have the money refunded.  Once the money has been refunded the Department will then be in a position to re-issue the payment to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
