Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2009
460 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if an appeal for jobseeker’s allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Louth will be expedited; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37312/09]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that the appeal from the person concerned has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral hearing. The person concerned will be informed when arrangements have been made. The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
