Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We met officials and said that we would like to hear what Deputies Clare Daly and Wallace would say on the removal of their amendments, because they had been supported on Committee Stage by all parties, including Fianna Fáil and ourselves in Sinn Féin, with the exception of the Government. I have a straight "Yes" or "No" question for the Minister of State. If somebody refuses to use a public services card, is it true that their social welfare payments can be withheld?
