Cianan Brennan: Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection has much to answer for 

There are so many questions regarding control checks and travel information. Will we ever get any answers writes Cianan Brennan

A quiet Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport. Among the questions that need to be answered is, who approved the 30 checks revealed to have been placed on flights at Dublin Airport between the beginning of April and mid-June? Picture: PA

Questions, questions, questions. And then there were some more questions.

The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, which performed (and is still performing) some of the most essential services of all — above and beyond the call of duty — during the early months of the pandemic, has now, unfortunately, via its use of "control" measures, created a situation with the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) which serves to create a seemingly endless cavalcade of queries.
