As the Deputy will be aware, the Attorney General has recently reported on matters related to historical DPMA/DA litigation and I, and the Minister for Health, have been asked to review this report and revert to Government within three months.

My review will include an examination of all available records to determine what cases may exist.

The table below shows the average number of recipients and the expenditure for disability allowance, invalidity pension and blind pension in January 2023. These figures are provisional.

Allowance are due their payment on a Wednesday, while, Invalidity Pension and Blind Pension payments are due on Thursday. There were 4 weekly payments for these schemes in January 2023.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
