Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It already is.

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) 2015: Committee Stage (25 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have concerns about the use of agency staff and the definition of "agency staff". Perhaps one of the reasons there is a problem in recruiting additional staff is they are faced with a backlog and, therefore, a significant workload. It is obvious that there are not enough posts, given the huge backlog of medical assessments in the case of all social welfare benefits, not just carer's...

I understand the need for short term contracts to get us over the hump of the current backlog in the system but I do...

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) 2015: Committee Stage (25 Mar 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a number of problems with the section. I have considerable sympathy for Deputies who take the time and make an effort to put amendments together that are then ruled out of order. I have challenged such rulings and asked at the Constitutional Convention that the section in the Constitution used to prevent us from making progressive proposals be removed. If this were done, we could...
