Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 6, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:

"3.—The Minister shall, within the next 12 months, complete a review to determine and set new longer term benchmarks against which the evolution of social welfare rates can be measured.".

The matter raised by the Deputy is perhaps a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. I will ask our Whip to contact the Committee on Procedure and Privileges to ensure that at least amendments that may impose a charge on the Exchequer will be allowed to be discussed.
