asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will make a statement on the reason for the refusal of unemployment assistance for a person (details supplied) in County Laois, who has no income and is fully available for work.
Comment on this
The unemployment assistance claim of the person concerned was disallowed for three 6-week periods from 5 January 1983, 16 February 1983 and 30 March 1983, on the grounds that he was not genuinely seeking work and unable to obtain suitable employment.
He has appealed against the disallowances and arrangements are being made to have his case determined at the earliest opportunity. His entitlement to unemployment assistance will be reviewed in the light of the decision of the appeals officer.
