217 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person was awarded the family income supplement of €65 per week with effect from 1 June 2005 based on income consisting of earnings and back to work allowance of €74.47 per week; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that the back to work allowance was payable in this case from 19 May 2005 to 15 September 2005; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that when their entitlement to back to work allowance ceased they were informed that their family income supplement entitlement could not be reviewed before 31 May 2006; if this person is thereby effectively deprived of an additional €44.82 per week in the family income supplement; his views on whether administrative convenience for his Department justifies such a decision in circumstances where the person concerned was not advised that they would be financially better off if they received their full entitlement to the family income supplement and no back to work allowance; if he will review this case to ensure that this person is not financially disadvantaged; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
