Vol. 440 No. 4
110 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Social Welfare the payments that were made to the legal representatives of a person (details supplied) in County Cork arising from the delay in implementing Directive 79/7 and in view of Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 16 February 1994 in which he stated no payments were made to the legal representatives; and the exact amount paid to the legal representative on her behalf.
In response to the Deputy's earlier Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 16 February 1994, I stated that no payments were made to the legal representative of the person concerned under the provisions of the European Communities (Social Welfare) Regulations, 1992 (S.I. No. 152 of 1993).
The person concerned was one of a number of plaintiffs who initiated proceedings arising from the delay in implementing Directive 79/7. In the absence of implementing measures settlements were made in these cases. As the settlements were subject to conditions as to confidentiality I am not in a position to provide the information sought.
111 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Social Welfare the payments made to the legal representative of a person (details supplied) in County Cork, who received £2,800 from her solicitor and who is anxious to know the amount paid to her solicitor on her behalf by his Department.
The person concerned was one of a number of plaintiffs who initiated proceedings arising from the delay in implementing EC Directive 79/7. In the absence of implementing measures settlements were made in these cases. As these settlements were subject to conditions as to confidentiality I am not in a position to provide the information sought.
