Amendment No. 10 in the name of Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh has been ruled out of order. It proposes to amend section 7, which provides that social welfare payments in respect of a qualified adult will not be payable for a periods when the qualified adult is resident outside the State or in prison or detained in legal custody. This amendment proposes to limit the periods for which payments will be restricted. The amendment could therefore involve a charge on the Exchequer as it would result in higher levels of payment under these circumstances. It must therefore be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 156(3).
