As the Minister for Social Protection is taking Leaders' Questions today, I ask about the Social Welfare Bill. Have the discussions concluded and can he tell the House now, and the people who are dependent on social welfare benefits, when the social welfare increases announced on budget day will take effect next year? Can he also indicate whether they will all take place on the same day in March or are there to be staggered dates on which different recipients are to receive the increases?
