Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The person concerned was awarded a guardians payment (contributory) at the weekly rate of €176.00 with effect from 8 September 2017. Payment has commenced into the person’s nominated bank account. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
