PQ 539
539. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Social Protection the measures in place to ensure that it remains more financially rewarding for someone to take up full time employment rather than to remain on jobseeker’s allowance, with all the additional benefits (such as medical card, entitlement to HAP, and so on); how that is monitored within his Department and Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
