- Social Welfare Fraud. (11 Nov 2008)
Olwyn Enright: Looking at the figures cited by the Minister, I do not see how they will reach an extra â¬25 million in savings by the end of the year. If it is â¬13 million in total in the six months for child benefit, â¬5.7 million from July until now in respect of another payment, and â¬388,000 from a special lone parent project, even allowing for some more from the â¬5.7 million for this month and...
- Social Welfare Fraud. (11 Nov 2008)
Olwyn Enright: Is this particular emphasis on child benefit a new initiative? How much money has been lost in the past few years? Of the cases referred to the Office of the Chief State Solicitor for 2005, 2006 and 2007, there does not seem to have been one case of child benefit fraud referred by the Minister's Department. If there was a potential for several millions of euro in savings from July to...

- Social Welfare Code. (11 Nov 2008)
Olwyn Enright: Given the Minister's answer, she clearly did not learn anything from the announcement made in the budget. She is still trying to claim that the families were looking for this measure when she refers to the six different voluntary bodies which did not seriously contest what she did. The families involved seriously contested the decision the Minister made. The decision was wrong and the fact...

Olwyn Enright: Every time there is a problem, the Minister tells us she will make increased savings. She told us in July or August she would get â¬25 million in savings, which was the subject matter of the first question. However, she was unable to explain how that â¬25 million has been obtained. Now, she is telling us she will save another â¬4.2 million in respect of this through increased savings....

- Social Welfare Benefits. (11 Nov 2008)
Olwyn Enright: I do not agree with the Minister that the scheme achieves its objectives in that not enough people can get on to it. Since the Minister was encouraged by the increase in the number of participants over the past two years, is she now discouraged that there will be 500 fewer places on the scheme next year? I am constantly raising this issue because I believe the scheme gives people a chance to...
