Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2013: Committee and Remaining Stages (25 Oct 2013)

Mick Wallace: The impact of the reduction in jobseeker's allowance for young people could show this to be one of the poorest decisions made by this Government.

If these people were available for €100 per week and received...

Unusually, the GPSU report set out a strict time...

Mick Wallace: The Minister did not really explain why it had taken more than the three months the GPSU had set down. One could be forgiven for thinking the recommendations of the GPSU have been disregarded by the Minister. When the GPSU issued its 12 recommendations, the Minister chose seven and stated that they contained vague principles with which he could possibly work and to which he could perhaps...

Mick Wallace: I am somewhat taken aback-----

Other Questions: Penalty Points System (5 Nov 2013)

Mick Wallace: As I was saying, I am somewhat taken aback that the Minister would ever be of the view that I might think the worst of him. That is a little unfair.

Mick Wallace: For any of us to say the law is sufficient as it stands is usually down to interpretation. Obviously, I would like to find out more about it and check what the Minister of State has told me. Can I come back on Report Stage and address the issue again if I find good cause to do so?
