Derek Keating (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting the issue for debate tonight. I also thank the Minister of State, Deputy English, for coming in. Given the importance of this subject and the opportunity available to me under Standing Order 27A, as amended in October 2013, I would like to have this matter deferred until the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection or the Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection is available.
