Emmet Stagg

Question:

26 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Social Welfare the amount which was expended from his Department's vote in 1988, 1989 and 1990 in return for information supplied on suspected abuse of the social welfare system.

A considerable amount of information is supplied to the Department on suspected abuse of social welfare which is assessed and acted on where it can be verified. However, payments are not made for such information and in fact there is no provision for making such payments within the vote of the Department.
