Written answers

Following a review, an entitlement to a Christmas Bonus payment has been established for the person concerned as a result of the combined period he spent in receipt of the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment and Jobseeker’s Benefit payments.

The person concerned qualifies for a bonus of 100% of his normal weekly payment of €529.70. This payment will issue to the person concerned in the coming week.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
