Ceist:

336. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection further to his reply to Parliamentary Question No. 273 of 4 October 2016, the way it is expected that the balance can be made in the case of a person (details supplied), pending an application for an exceptional needs payment in respect of funeral expenses; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

An application for financial assistance in respect of funeral expenses was received and a payment of €2000 was issued on 3rd October 2016. A review of this application was subsequently undertaken and following this review a further cheque payment of €500 issued on the 13th October 2016.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
