Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have spoken to the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, about the greyhound industry, in which he takes a passionate interest. I will have him advise the House as to the progress being made on the preparation of that legislation. The Deputy is aware that the Government wishes to deal with housing assistance payments as an incentive to getting people off the live register and back to work without experiencing a complete break from the current system if they take up a job. The Minister of State, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, is dealing with this, with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, and I will ask her to advise Deputy Butler on the current position.
