Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2015
185. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a farm assist appeal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; when a decision will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2248/15]
View answerI am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all the evidence has disallowed the appeal of the person concerned. The person concerned has been notified of the decision.
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.
