Social Welfare Appeals
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-11
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

This question is on the social welfare appeals office. The staff in the Department of Social Protection do a fantastic job. I have read reports where the Ombudsman commends the staff, the appeals officers, the deciding officers, the work they do and the way they deal with the public. I want the Minister to report that back to the staff of the Department. They are very professional and very helpful to Members all the time. I am interested in the number of cases currently being considered by the social welfare appeals office and how long some of these cases are taking to resolve.
