Michael McCarthy
Question:171. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the action her Department has taken to reduce and streamline processing times for social protection payments with a view to minimising hardship on those awaiting the outcome of applications; if she will support a system of automatic notifications between the Revenue Commissioners and her Department once a payment has been awarded, rather than self declaration; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
