326 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the fact that applicants for jobseeker’s allowance are being told at social welfare offices that they may have to wait up to 14 weeks for their applications to be processed; if she is monitoring these waiting times; if so, the average waiting time; the measures being taken to expedite the processing of applications and the reduction of waiting times, particularly in view of the fact that in the 1980s such waiting times were shorter, despite the absence of computerisation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
