Willie O'Dea
Ceist:658. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the difficulties being experienced by persons who are receiving or applying for illness benefit; if her attention has been further drawn to the fact that in some cases the illness benefit is arbitrarily reduced, paid intermittently and in some cases stopped entirely; if her attention has been further drawn to the perception that it is impossible to make contact with the relevant section of her Department; the action she plans to take in view of the fact persons in receipt of same are vulnerable, have paid the contributions and in many cases are solely dependent on this payment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
