Ceisteanna (154)

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Ceist:

154 Deputy Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan asked the Minister for Social Protection his views that the promises given by her upon the launch of the JobBridge programme are now being broken (details supplied); JobBridge participants have been informed that their fuel allowance will now not be paid to them as they are part of the JobBridge programme; if she will verify that what was promised at the launch of the programme, and what is currently published on her Department’s website, is at odds to the reality of the way the programme is being implemented and that participants are losing secondary benefits, in particular, their fuel allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25441/11]

Participation on JobBridge should not affect an individual's secondary benefits provided that their underlying circumstances have not changed. I would ask the Deputy to provide me with further details of the particular case he is referring to so that my Department can investigate the issue.
