Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2015 - Vote 37: Minister for Social Protection (22 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: In the case I am talking about, for instance, the woman works for two hours a day, which means she does not qualify for any payment because she does not work enough hours to get family income supplement. There is nobody else in the house, which she inherited from her mother who died two years ago and if she gives it up she can get jobseeker's allowance but she wants to stay in employment and...

Order of Business (23 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is not agreed. No. 14, which deals with the referral to select committee of a proposal for Ireland to participate in the establishment of a battle group, is an odious motion. It is a huge move or development in terms of our international relations. As such, this Chamber should first debate the matter before it goes to committee. If committee adopts it, it should come back here and be...

Order of Business (23 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We heard this morning that the rents in this city were at the boom-time level even though the rent supplement was out of touch with the rents being demanded, that is, some €300 less than the average rent for an apartment and €400 less than the average rent for a house.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility Allowance and Motorised Transport Grant Scheme: Department of Health (23 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I listened to the contributions and I remember being here when we heard from the Ombudsman in 2013 and the Minister thereafter when the scheme was suspended. As I remember it at the time, we were told that it would take a number of months, possibly until June 2013, to have a replacement scheme in operation. Given the complexity of the issue, I presume the time has been usefully spent, but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Mobility Allowance and Motorised Transport Grant Scheme: Department of Health (23 Sep 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Some of what I will say arises from the answers to date. I would find it invidious if one were to draw up a list. The problem is that the Department of Health has a list for medical cards, for instance and the Department of Social Protection has a list for the domiciliary care allowance and other schemes. It is not something that should be done but there are procedures in place. It was...
