Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2018
220. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an application for an exceptional needs payment will be facilitated in the case of a person (details supplied); if consideration will be given to this request with particular reference to the hardship being experienced in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42581/18]
View answerAccording to the records of the Department, the person concerned has not submitted an application for an Exceptional Needs Payment. If the person concerned wishes to submit an application, she should contact the Community Welfare Service by phoning 087 9638588 or calling in person to Newbridge Intreo Centre, Moorefield Road, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, where a member of staff will be able to assist her in this regard.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
