135 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if he will review his Department’s policy in respect of the procedures for applying for unemployment benefit for workers who lose part of their week for a temporary time only due to seasonal or other factors; if he will lift the compulsion on such applicants to seek another full-time post while they await for their existing employment to return to full-time, in view of the fact that they are very unlikely to find a full-time post with equivalent or better wages lasting for only a few weeks and that there are few circumstances in which it would be in their interest to move; and if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied) as an example of the way in which this over-bureaucratic procedure works in practice.
