Written answers

The identification of ‘retained fire fighters’ is dependent on the recipient informing the relevant INTREO office of their auxiliary profession.

On this basis, at the end of October 482 people who had identified themselves as a retained fire fighter were receiving a jobseeker’s payment from my Department.
