When does the Government intend to bring forward the social welfare Bill? Does the Taoiseach intend to stand over and implement the proposed further victimisation of, and discrimination against, young unemployed people, especially those under 25 who, instead of getting the fiver promised to everybody will get, as detailed in the budget documentation, €2.70? They are expected to live on €102.70 per week while the Taoiseach lives on €3,500 per week. This is a driving factor in youth homelessness and 16% of young people currently face unemployment.
