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

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for her response and commend her on the work she is doing in this area, especially updating the IT systems, which should make for a huge improvement there. I ask the Minister to give us a bit more of a breakdown of which schemes or areas are causing the most difficulty with respect to appeals. Is there anything standing out there with respect to the number of appeals being lodged for a particular scheme, for instance? What is the longest waiting time in the various schemes she has in front of her? Will she make those figures available to us in tabular form at a later stage? I am aware she cannot give them all to us now, but they would make interesting reading, especially the longest waiting times. Has she looked at the need for extra staff and resources in the appeals office?
