36. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the way a person's jobseeker status is determined when the person signs on for jobseeker's benefit, for example, the way her Department determines and who within the social welfare system determines if a person is a pay-as-you-earn unemployed jobseeker, a self-employed but currently unemployed jobseeker, a casual worker, or an unemployed jobseeker with no previous work experience; the mechanisms available to the person, if that person believes that the status assigned to him or her is incorrect, for example a person designated as previously self-employed may not be offered available training opportunities or a person designated as unemployed but who was in fact self-employed, may be expected to engage in training opportunities not useful to that person; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
