- Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2009)
Denis Naughten: I refer to the point concerning carers. It is appalling that home care support will be cut as a result of the need to carry out the swine flu vaccination programme.

- Order of Business (11 Dec 2009)

Denis Naughten: Amendments could have been submitted up until the completion of Second Stage but I do not wish to argue the technical aspects. I oppose section 3 of the Bill because the cuts being proposed in section 3 are unjust. It is timely that the latest set of inflation figures were published subsequent to the budget. When the Minister for Finance came to the House on Wednesday he was working on the...
