In terms of payments, the National Youth Council last week described the increase to young people of €2.70 as opposed to €5 as miserly, mean spirited and further discrimination against young people. In response to Deputy Connolly, Ms O'Donoghue said the Department did advise on policy. Did she advise on that policy and did she endorse it? Could she also speak about the impact of it?
