702. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will streamline the current situation where people coming off FÁS courses are left without a direct continuation of welfare payment while seeking work, as if they are unable to obtain work in the meantime, it can take up to five to six weeks before a jobseeker's payment is resumed; if she will implement a smooth and direct transition to the appropriate welfare payment rather than the existing system whereby these people have to apply for a supplementary welfare payment in the interim, as this is causing additional administration time delays in the welfare system; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
