- Social Welfare Benefits. (21 Oct 2008)
Olwyn Enright: It is clear the measures being taken are not working because the figures the Minister gave me for October more or less correlate to the figures I have for September. Therefore the measures taken are not decreasing the queues. The Minister said failure to supply all pertinent information can be one of the reasons for the difficulties.

Olwyn Enright: Deputy Hanafin is the Minister and if the delay is unacceptable, it means she is not doing her job and ensuring it is dealt with.

They also fall behind with mortgage repayments, car loans and credit union loans....

- Data Protection. (21 Oct 2008)
Olwyn Enright: Is encryption now in place on all the Department of Social and Family Affairs laptop computers? Anyone who is in anyway good at this will be able to get around a password.

Why are those figures so low? The...
