Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2017
684. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if she has responded to all of the correspondence received from a person (details supplied); if the issues raised in this correspondence will be addressed as a matter of urgency; if information requested relative to their case will be granted; if the correspondence from persons (details supplied) will be addressed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5528/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wrote to the individual concerned on 13 December 2016, giving a definitive response to the issues that they raised.
My Department, and previous Ministers, have been in receipt of correspondence from the individual concerned, and others making representations on their behalf, over many years in relation to the issues raised. The handling of these matters was previously the subject of a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman and the Information Commissioner, and neither body has found the Department at fault in any aspect.
This Department has devoted a considerable amount of time and resources to this issue over many years, however, I do not believe that the Department can do anything further to address the individual's principal concern which relates to the conclusion to his employment with a private sector entity.
