(Question 50876/13 asked on 28 Nov 2013 - Social Welfare Fraud Investigations) Deputy Willie O’Dea: Last October, the Minister announced a policy initiative directly involving the Garda in the investigation and combating of social welfare fraud. What I want to ascertain here is whether that policy has been put in place, where, and how successful has it been? Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection the estimated number of persons who will be affected by the cuts to jobseeker’s allowance in 2014; the amount of money she estimates it will save in the full year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am trying to ascertain how many people have been affected and what it has contributed to the State. The Government took almost €3 billion out of the economy, so what contribution has this reduction made? What savings will be achieved by this reduction which is imposing so much suffering on one category of the population... Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection her views on the fact that her Department has been pursuing some social welfare recipients to repay overpayments that occurred as far back as the 1980s where there was no question of fraud; and if she will make a statement on the matter. (Question 43514/13 asked on 17 Oct 2013 - Social Welfare Overpayments) Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton): It is the Department’s policy to investigate and pursue all overpayments so as to protect public moneys to the greatest extent possible. People who have received an overpayment from the Department have a liability under law to refund the amounts involved. They have received moneys to which they were not entitled. In 2012, overpayments amounting to €97 million were recorded. This represents 0.47% of overall annual departmental expenditure. Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress made on implementing Pathways to Work; the number of caseworkers currently working with long-term jobseekers to help them back to full employment; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

It is delivering on the programme for Government commitment to set up a national employment and entitlements service and involves a multi-annual programme of organisational, process, people and work changes running to the end of 2014. We started in 2012 by rolling out the Intreo approach, including revamped offices, to improve how we... Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the way the venture capital fund he recently announced will operate; the process to ensure it does not suffer from a slow take-up similar to the microfinance fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The scheme is targeting an additional €525 million in funding from the private sector, which will mean a total fund of €700 million available for investment over the lifetime of the scheme. This new Seed and Venture Scheme 2013-18 will proceed by way of a series o...

(Question 42252/13 asked on 08 Oct 2013 - Universities Global Rankings) Deputy Ruairí Quinn: The performance of Irish higher education institutes, HEIs, varies widely in the different ranking systems. This variance clearly demonstrates that caution should be taken in the interpretation of individual placement of HEIs to determine overall quality. In the latest published Times Higher Education world university rankings, Ireland again has two of its seven universities featuring in the top 200, or top 1%, out of 15,000 universities worldwide. Analysis done by the Ir... Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Finance his views on the concerns expressed by the head of the National Assets Management Agency regarding the scale of staff turnover and the quality and experience of departing staff; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is important that NAMA, on behalf of the taxpayer, has the expertise available to it to carry out its commercial mandate with the aim, at minimum, of eliminating the contingent liability of the State arising from its current portfolio and from t...

(Question 35050/13 asked on 17 Jul 2013 - Energy Security) (Deputy Pat Rabbitte): The energy regulator for Great Britain, Ofgem, published its most recent annual electricity capacity assessment on 27 June. It analysed security of supply in Great Britain over the forthcoming five winters. It shows that the buffer between peak demand and supply could be lower than previously expected and proposed for consultation certain measures to address this issue.

(Question 33274/13 asked on 09 Jul 2013 - Job Initiatives) Deputy Joan Burton: Pathways to Work represents the most significant ever change to the manner in which the State engages with and provides services for people who are unemployed. It delivers on the programme for Government commitment to create a co-ordinated employment and entitlements service and involves a multi-annual programme of complex legislative, organisational, process, people and work change which runs to the end of 2014. There are five strands to Pathways to Work, including engagem...

(Question 32249/13 asked on 03 Jul 2013 - Special Educational Needs Services Provision) (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I propose to take Questions Nos. 9, 12, 16, 23 and 24 together. I have authorised the NCSE to restore the level of resource teaching allocations to be provided for students with special educational needs to the 2012-13 levels. There will not now be a reduction in resource teaching time for these pupils for the coming school year. The first tranche of resource teaching posts have now been allocated to schools by the NCSE.

Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason two contracts, with a total value of €98,892 (details supplied) were granted by her Department without the necessity to submit a tender in March 2013. (Question 26007/13 asked on 29 May 2013 - Departmental Bodies Expenditure) Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton): I understand that the Deputy is referring to the information campaign undertaken by the Citizens Information Board, CIB, regarding the Mortgage Arrears Information and Advice Service. This service offers a dedicated helpline, website and financial advice which is available to borrowers from independent accountants, the cost of which is being borne by the lenders via the Irish Banking Federation. Supporting people in difficulty with their mor...

(Question 26008/13 asked on 29 May 2013 - Anti-Poverty Strategy) (Deputy Joan Burton): The Government and I, as Minister for Social Protection, are committed to reducing and eliminating poverty, as set out in the programme for Government. We are determined to ensure the most vulnerable are enabled to benefit from economic recovery through activation programmes and services and, ultimately, being able to return to work.
