Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I second the amendment. The Minister knows my feelings well on the issue of the self-employed and those in receipt of farm assist, where the delays are ridiculous, particularly for appeals. We can give out figures but unfortunately we can also give out figures for the large numbers who are committing suicide. We must be conscious of this and ensure people get what they need when they need it.
