Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 October 2010
275 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will provide an overview of the number of refused applications for all schemes administered by his Department from County Mayo; if he may provide a breakdown of approvals and refusals by scheme; if he will specifically provide the number of refusals in respect of the habitual residency clause; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35287/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy is not readily available within my Department. I can, however, provide the Deputy with data in relation to approvals and refusals for all claims made by customers in the Social Welfare Local and Branch Offices in county Mayo. I have attached a table which breaks down the approvals and refusals by scheme type. I am unable to provide a detailed breakdown of reasons for refusals. The information is outlined in the following tables.
