The Bill under consideration was referred to the select sub-committee by order of the Dáil on 19 November 2014. The Bill gives the necessary legislative effect to social protection measures announced in the Budget Statement on 14 October 2014 and that are due to take effect in January 2015.

I welcome the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton, together with officials from her Department. I remind members and guests to turn off their mobile telephones completely or put them on safe or flight mode. We will try to finish the Bill today, if we can.
