To The Minister For Social, Community And Family Affairs, Mary Coughlan, T.D..
Cuirim tuairisc maidir le gníomhartha na hOifige Achomhairc Leasa Shóisialaigh i 2001 faoi bhreith de réir fhorálacha Ailt 254(1) den Acht Leasa Shóisialaigh (Comhdlúthú), 1993.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 254(1) of the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act, 1993, I submit the report of the Social Welfare Appeals Office for 2001.
As I will be retiring from the public service this year and this will be my final report, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all who have provided support and co-operation in the running of the appeals service during my time as Chief Appeals Officer. To the Ministers who have served during the period, to Departmental management and staff I would like to express my sincere appreciation.
I would especially wish to record my gratitude to all staff who have served in the Office during my time there. Their loyal support and their commitment to their work were invaluable to me in fulfilling my role.
Finally, and in particular, I would like to express my thanks to the Deputy Chief Appeals Officer, John O'Donnell, who is also retiring from the public service this year. The social welfare appeals service had undergone quite considerable change over the years and many of the improvements are attributable to his vision and dedication. He was an inspiration to all who had the good fortune to work with him in the delivery of the appeals service.
