89. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the correct level of jobseeker's allowance payable in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5409/15]
View answerThe person concerned was awarded jobseeker’s benefit at the rate of €363.30 per week from 30 January 2015. This figure contains a personal rate, a qualified adult allowance rate that takes account of earnings and child dependent allowance for three children. While the rate of jobseeker's benefit reflects a five-day week the first payment was for four days and a pro rata reduction applied.
