Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I oppose that order. I wish to propose that we delete all the words after "That" and substitute the following:

Dáil Éireann declines to give a Second Reading to the Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009 having regard to the deliberate and calculated manner in which the Bill targets people on the lowest of incomes, including carers, widows, the blind, people with disabilities, the lone parents and the unemployed and the potential hardship likely to be created for many families by the across the board cut in child benefit payments provided for in this Bill.".
