Leaders' Questions.
4:00 pm
Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)
The Deputy should at least acknowledge that the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Coughlan, gave a €10 per week increase to all widows. To refer to a general cutback is incorrect. I also stated that a small fraction of the 120,000 people who will gain from that benefit would have been affected by this measure.
