Fergus O'Brien Mr. F. O'Brien Fine Gael

The unemployment assistance claim of the person concerned was disallowed on the grounds that his means derived from self-employment as a carpenter exceeded the statutory limit.

He appealed against the disallowance and his case has been referred to a social welfare officer for further inquiries about his income from self-employment. When these are completed his case will be submitted to an appeals officer and his entitlement to unemployment assistance will be reviewed in the light of his decision.
