Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed)
9:00 pm
Mary White (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)
I am pleased that certain social welfare rates are not being altered in the budget. The household benefits package and the free travel schemes are very important for those dependent on social welfare and I welcome their retention. I have always been someone who considers the glass half full. I am not a naysayer who considers it half empty.
