PQ 21

Deputy Paula Butterly asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review the adequacy of supports available to individuals who pay PRSI, whether employed or self-employed, who find themselves out of work due to circumstances such as illness, bereavement and injury and to students who are engaged in employment, given concerns that many such individuals are not eligible for supplementary welfare allowance due to the means test criteria, leaving them without timely access to appropriate State supports; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
