Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 May 2017
346. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 300 of 9 of March 2017, the areas which the 117 persons in receipt of family income supplement work in the Defence Forces; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24519/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraFamily Income Supplement (FIS) Section is unable to provide any further information over and above the number of Defence Force members in receipt of a FIS payment. The information provided by the customer to the Department on a FIS application includes confirmation provided by the customer’s employer that they are in remunerative employment. The Department does not require the customer to provide information on the area in which they work for their employer.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
