Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010: Report and Final Stages
5:00 pm
Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)
Those who can afford to contribute most are always allowed to do so later this year, next year or some other time. Social welfare cuts are always applied this year. There is always an excuse for not hitting the better off. I do not accept what the Minister is saying. These are firm proposals where savings could be made in the current year but he is refusing to do that.
