Social Welfare Benefits: Motion
7:00 pm
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
We were extremely fortunate that, despite the fact that money was tight, we were able to provide a 100% bonus last Christmas. I accept that the removal of the bonus will make matters difficult for those who require extra money at Christmas. At least in making the decision now, however, we are giving them advance notice.
