Let me make it clear that I am not calling for a reduction in welfare payments; rather, I am calling for anomalies within the system to be addressed and eliminated, wherever possible. The Tánaiste talks about the inadequacies of the welfare system when we were in government, but she has practically been in government for four years, which is long enough to have rectified the anomalies she may have identified. Will she address the fact that her own policies, in particular, those surrounding PRSI, have disincentivised low earners from increasing their earnings and also the long-term unemployed from entering the workforce?
