As the Minister is aware, there was a great deal of opposition to the proposal first announced by her predecessor to publish the names of people who had been convicted of welfare fraud. She will also be aware that there is a section which provides for this in the famous Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2017, Committee Stage of which we are still awaiting. I want to find out what her intentions are in that regard. Is it still the intention of the Government to proceed with that proposal?
