Article 9(3)(a) of the Convention. Waiting period for injury benefit. The Government indicates that, as part of the measures introduced over the course of the EU/ECB/IMF Programme of Support for Ireland to reduce social welfare expenditure, the waiting period for payment of injury benefit has been increased from three to six days. Recalling that, in case of incapacity for work, Article 9(3)(a) of the Convention allows a maximum three-day waiting period for the payment of the benefit, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether it envisages decreasing the current waiting period to meet the requirements of the Convention once the economic situation of the country improves. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on any other form of financial protection provided during the current waiting period to persons who are incapacitated for work and whose earnings are suspended as a result of an employment injury.
