Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, Independents 4 Change) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister for Social Protection if she will reconsider setting up a cost-of-living hardship fund to be distributed by community welfare officers in the community and accessible by families and persons who are deeply affected by the cost-of-living increases in food, medical bills, essential clothing and back-to-school costs. I ask her to make a statement on the matter.
