Public Services Card appeal to be done by March, minister claims

Regina Doherty said that the appeal is necessary as “the cost of not appealing would be absolutely enormous to the State, and not just in terms of finances”.

The minister with responsibility for the controversial Public Services Card has said that her Department’s appeal of an enforcement notice will “hopefully” be completed by March.

Regina Doherty, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, said that the appeal is necessary as “the cost of not appealing would be absolutely enormous to the State, and not just in terms of finances”.
