Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

Somebody who is currently 22 who receives the full adult rate will continue to receive that full adult rate. If a new person comes in at 22 years of age, that person will receive the reduced rate of €150. Someone who is 18 or 19 and who remains unemployed and is not participating in education or training, will get €100 at 20 or 21 and €150 at 22.
