Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for that clarification. As the scheme will not be done and dusted on 10 February and it will not have gone through the Oireachtas, and given that the Minister is introducing a wall that these people will not be able to get over, what is the main thinking behind not allowing them to be able to avail of work there and then on 10 February? What is the main Government thinking behind this arrangement whereby it will make it impossible for them to get work until this is all done and dusted perhaps sometime in June?
