Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 on the following specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration, namely, the failure of the Department of Social and Family Affairs to ensure that recipients of social welfare cheques receive them through the post in a timely fashion, which is not the case since January in much of Dublin 10 and Dublin 20, with delays of up to ten days from the date of issue and the consequent hardship for individuals and families who are totally dependent on these payments to manage their household budget; and the need for the Minister to address this problem.
