Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Beidh mé críochnaithe anois. Lone parents there will not suffer any loss. Members should remember that. The Tories in London wanted to stop lone-parent allowance at one year old and Sinn Féin prevented that. The allowances will not be reduced unless the parents have child care. In other words, we kept the promises we made.
