Tony Gregory
Question:53 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will examine the circumstances of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 3 who submitted written evidence from his wife's employer five years ago detailing her earnings at that time and has recently resubmitted a copy of the original letter having been billed for five years unemployment assistance overpayment apparently through an oversight on the part of his Department; and if he will waive the amount now due in view of the fact that the person is not in any position to repay such a large amount, brought about through no fault of his own.
