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

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister very much. I am not familiar with clients being overtly informed about section 317. Does the Minister agree that if an appeal is decided in the negative that the clients should be then informed in the same letter that they can appeal under section 317 if further information becomes available? Perhaps that is happening, but I have not actually seen it. The Minister might come back to me and let me know if it is part of the policy that clients are informed that they can appeal on that basis.
I do not think there is any time limit on the process. At least it is not outlined in the 2005 Act. There are a few points the Minister might clear up for me later.
