Sean Conlan

Question:

255. Deputy Seán Conlan asked the Minister for Finance the reason a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan has, despite numerous requests to the Revenue Commissioners, not been afforded reckonable credits on foot of contributions made between the years 1993 and 2001, despite having furnished the Revenue Commissioners with copies of receipts of moneys paid to them, revenue and confirmation from the person's accountant that the contributions were paid during those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26143/15]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that there is no record of a request from the person concerned for confirmation of information on the lines set out.

A direct request for such confirmation was received by Revenue from the Department of Social Protection on 19 June last. Revenue has advised that it confirmed that the required minimum payments for PRSI have been made and that the person's contribution record can be updated accordingly so the matter should now be resolved.
