Question:

55. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Social Protection further to the passing of the Social Welfare Act 2022, when her report on the provision and cost of community welfare officers will be completed. [5995/23]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

I agreed at Committee Stage of the Social Welfare Bill 2022 that I will lay a report before the Houses of the Oireachtas within six months of the passage of the Act. The Bill was passed on 15/12/22. Work on the report is progressing in line with that schedule.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
