Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

All budgets and Social Welfare Bills, and every decision I will make as Minister, will reflect what I have said. That will get us some of the way but not all the way. I am not promising to get us to a utopian situation but I am determined that we should begin to move in a better direction, for example, by ensuring that women in the welfare system get a better deal.
