Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
334. Deputy Louis O'Hara asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 141 of 25 September 2025, if he will review the details of a particular case (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52939/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs recently advised to the Deputy, my Department is currently examining a particular anomaly whereby a small number of self-employed individuals do not meet the PRSI contribution requirements for any of the various social insurance based jobseeker's schemes. I will consider the matter once this examination is completed.
I am advised by officials in my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy is not affected by this issue and has been awarded Jobseeker's Benefit (Self-Employed).
I trust this clarifies the matter.
