There has been a decrease in the number of people in receipt of family income supplement. The latest figure is 117, but it has decreased since the pay increases came into being.

I have heard reports of Defence Forces members having to sleep in cars. I do not dispute it but if it is the case and the Deputy has examples, I would appreciate it if he would bring those cases to my attention. I will bring them to the attention of the Defence Forces and the members of PDFORRA or RACO, whichever association to which the members belong. Help and assistance is available from both of those associations for such cases. I would appreciate it if the Deputy could pass those names to me.
