Question:358. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection his plans to amend the number of contribution requirements needed by seasonal and part-time workers in order to be eligible for the jobseeker's benefit payment and in order to make it much more accessible to this category of worker; his views on whether the present contribution requirements prevent many seasonal and part-time workers from qualifying for the payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
