Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

I pray that the Minister will not ignore those who have not signed up. There was a deadline. This has required a lot of examination. I ask the Minister that if someone feels he or she is hard done by and has not met the deadline that the Minister would consider the case and give them an opportunity to apply, but not next September. If a person wants to apply he or she should do so now and be given an opportunity.
