Vol. 465 No. 7
40 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Social Welfare whether he has received recommendations from the interdepartmental committee on non-nationals regarding the social welfare treatment of non-EU nationals; if so, the guidelines, if any, he intends publishing on foot of those recommendations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10425/96]
I have not at this time received any recommendations from the interdepartmental committee on non-Irish nationals.
I understand the committee will, in it's second report, address issues relating to the social welfare entitlement of non-nationals who have entered this country. Officials of my Department have been in discussion with the committee about this, and I understand that it is hoped to finalise the content of the report in this area shortly.
