Dominic Hannigan

Question:

366 Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Social Protection when exactly a person (details supplied) will have their appeal decided upon; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26791/12]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that no appeal has been received by that office in respect of the person concerned.

The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister for Social Protection and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
