Uk benefit fraud figures released by the UKSA yesterday:
http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd2/index.php?page=fraud_error
Any level of benefit fraud is of course unacceptable but they estimate:
(1) A 2% overpayment of total benefit due to fraud & error
(2) A 0.8% underpaymeny of total benefit due to fraud & error
Hardly a crisis?

Can the Manager please give me an update on plans to publish street cleaning schedules (including last/next date) to the web as discussed at the Environment SPC previously?

The street cleaning schedules are now available on the Dublin City Council website www.dublincity.ie
Then search under:-

Users can find the street sweeping information by searching by street name. The street cleaning frequency, last and next sweep dates are also displayed.
