Order of Business

Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)
We have one of the highest rates in Europe of social welfare benefits for old or unemployed people. Moreover, contrary to a view put forward by Fine Gael's candidate in Dublin South this morning, an unemployed married man receives €339 per week and not €204 per week. Were Members to at least get the facts right, they might have appropriate debates in the Chamber.
