Budget Statement 2010

Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
In the case of working age rates of payment there will be a reduction of about 4.1%. Unemployment among the young is a particular concern to the Government. We want to encourage them to stay close to the labour market while at the same time providing a rate of assistance that compares very well internationally, particularly with payments in Britain and Northern Ireland.
