Mr. Martin
asked the
Minister for Social Welfare
if he will award a Christmas bonus, free fuel and butter vouchers to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
[24337/96]
Minister for Social Welfare (Proinsias De Rossa):
The person concerned completed a community employment scheme placement in October 1996. While on that scheme he availed of an option to pay full-rate social insurance contributions which made him eligible for unemployment benefit on his return to the live register. Persons in receipt of unemployment benefit are not eligible for Christmas bonus, free [330] fuel or butter vouchers. However, the person concerned will be eligible for smokless fuel allowance on completion of 78 days entitlement to unemployment benefit.
