Social Welfare Benefits
3:00 pm
Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)
It is alarming that the Minister cannot confirm there will not be cuts in this area in the budget. The EU-IMF-ECB troika requires that there be "reforms" - as they are euphemistically called - in the social welfare system. Has the troika commented or made any specific demands concerning carer's allowance?
