Mr. Mickey Brady:

I thank the Tánaiste for his presentation. Previously, he was vociferous about corruption. In the North, we have seen a number of issues, in particular two major ones - Red Sky and RHI. Does the Tánaiste believe it to be right and proper that people in the North must endure that kind of governance or lack of governance? Not much seems to have been said about it.

The Tánaiste referred to people living in Britain getting Irish pensions and vice versa. I live in a Border constituency and deal with social welfare issues daily. The question of frontier workers needs to be addressed urgently. There are benefits and tax credits that people working in the South and living in the North can claim.
