Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

The Minister is saying no account is taken at this stage of the effects of the change to the fuel allowance provided for in the social welfare legislation being taken today. As of 2014, those who are 65 will not be entitled to a fuel allowance until they are 66. After 2021, the age of entitlement will be 67. Am I correct in stating one cannot qualify for a fuel allowance until one is on long-term jobseeker's allowance?
