Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
7:00 pm
Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)
I thank the Minister for that clarification. We strongly support civil partnership and the civil and human rights of same-sex partners. I am slightly conflicted because the substance of the section is to limit the amount of welfare somebody gets. However, in any case, I will not make a meal of it and will withdraw my opposition to the section.
