Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I certainly do know what is going on on the ground. Most Deputies do; that is why they are here. They meet and engage with people on an ongoing basis. However, we do not get involved in the day-to-day operation of services either. There has to be some delegation of authority and responsibility in relation to the management of various services.
It is important that people get a timely response to any applications to a community welfare officer. I will talk to the Minister for Social Protection about the points the Deputy raised.
