44. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will review the circumstances in which persons are deemed to have inadvertently received a payment to which they may not have an entitlement and that subsequently have to repay sums, including lump sums, to an extent that may exacerbate their vulnerability especially those dependent on rent support derived from being on local authority housing lists and that may find themselves homeless; if his Department has the technology to be able to identify potential overpayments at an earlier stage thereby eliminating hardship to vulnerable families; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
