Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

According to the records of the Department, the person concerned has not submitted an application for an exceptional needs payment. An officer of the Department will contact the person concerned on Wednesday 24/10/18 to discuss her circumstances.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
