Social Welfare Consolidation Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed).
1:00 pm
John Deasy (Waterford, Fine Gael)
I am simply asking for some leeway to be granted in cases where there is hardship, in particular for those who have received rent allowance for years but are told they will no longer get it, which is particularly difficult for lone parents. Social welfare officers should be given leeway in those cases. I have dealt with five such cases so far this week.
