Page 36 of the programme for Government sets out a commitment to provide a fairer and more inclusive society and spread the benefits of a recovering economy more equally. I ask the Taoiseach to put this rumour, which may be unfounded and untrue, to bed immediately. It would be of great concern to pensioners and social welfare recipients if they were unable to rely on this extra money around Christmas time, when it is most needed. The timely ending of this rumour, which I hope is inaccurate, would be welcome. If it is Government policy not to pay this bonus, I ask the Taoiseach to reverse that policy immediately.
