Written answers

Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

I refer to the reply to the Deputy’s previous PQ about this matter. Reference Number 42721-17 refers.

The planned review of the case is currently underway but is not yet completed. A response will be provided shortly to the Deputy in this regard.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
