Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed)
9:00 pm
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
As I outlined yesterday, at the time the initiative was introduced it was decided that it should be set at some 10% of the social welfare payment. In the intervening years, the social welfare payment has increased by €70 while the rent supplement contribution has remained the same.
