Social Welfare: Motion (Resumed) (1 Apr 2009)

Mary Upton: I thank the Fine Gael Party for tabling this Private Members' motion. It is a great shame the Government's amendment to the motion consists principally of platitudes on how well it is responding to this crisis. The amendment is heavy on generalities with no specifics included. One would get a different response if one asked the recently unemployed what they think of the State's support for...

There is no planning time for them. These cuts...

Financial Resolution No. 11: General (Resumed) (8 Apr 2009)

Mary Upton: It was buried deep in the Department's website. Only because some of the representative agencies were enterprising and dug it out did we, and, in turn, our constituents, become aware of it. It reflects utter meanness.
