Higgins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to incidents whereby persons receiving jobseeker’s benefit, who have been offered temporary work for a number of weeks and which holds some prospect of possible long-term employment, are unwilling to take the short-term position since the person would then have to, for the sake of a short period of employment, withdraw from jobseeker’s benefit and are reluctant to so due to the difficulties experienced in seeking such payment in the first place and fears that returning to the system following such period of employment would again mean a lengthy period waiting for payment to resume; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
