75. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the position regarding an appeal of a decision to refuse a supplementary welfare allowance to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; if it will be expedited; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Social Welfare Appeals Office has advised me that there is no record of any appeal by the person concerned having been received by that office.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office functions independently of the Minister for Social Protection and of the Department and is responsible for determining appeals against decisions in relation to social welfare entitlements.
