John Bruton

Question:

238 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education when she proposes to reply to representations made to her on 12 October 1989 by a person (details supplied) in County Meath concerning the refund of excess PRSI deducted from her during a period when she was invalidly employed on a temporary whole-time basis with Drogheda Vocational Education Committee, County Louth in light of judicial decisions (details supplied); and when this refund will be paid.

Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)

My Department have been in regular contact with the Town of Drogheda Vocational Education Committee to ascertain if a resolution in this matter has been reached. The position is that the committee are actively pursuing the matter with the Department of Social Welfare and are not in a position to act pending a formal ruling from that Department.

A reply to the representations in question will issue when the matter has been resolved.
