Statements on Expenditure
Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)
-----because every cent paid in social welfare gets consumed in the real economy. There are no savings. This withdrawal of cash from the economy will mean more job losses, more contraction and the vicious cycle will continue. This applies to all the cuts implemented today.
The way to reduce the social welfare bill is to get people back to work.
