Bernard J. Durkan
Question:81 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs the reason a one parent family allowance has not been paid to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that the person has signed all the necessary requisitions sought by his Department and that the person's solicitor sent confirmation of her income to his Department and that all bank accounts were sighted by his Department; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that allegations made by his Department that the person's passport had been regularly used were refuted in view of the fact that the person had not had a passport until 27 June 1997; his views on whether this person has been fairly treated in view of the fact that an inspector told her that she would not get one parent family allowance when the application was first made; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
