Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I am delighted to see such activity, and there is a certain burden lifted in that regard. The sad reality is that the Government has taken a substantial amount out of this particular programme and I wonder if it will be clearly announced that only €50 rather than €100 per week is now available to participants.

I wish the Minister well in the difficult period ahead.
