Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage (15 Oct 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I note the Minister's pressing need to have this Bill promulgated prior to the recess. There was a time when social welfare Bills would be a source of great debate in this House. I have noticed in latter years the debate has become shorter and shorter.

Social Welfare Bill 2024: Second Stage (15 Oct 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I acknowledge the work of the Minister in providing protections for vulnerable people in society through the payments she has instigated in the past number of years, in particular.

Seán Sherlock: I support the Sinn Féin motion. Every week, we discuss important issues such as this one in debates on Private Members' motions.

Social Welfare Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Oct 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I am conscious of the time and that other colleagues have tabled amendments, so I will be brief and speak specifically to my amendment. Where people lose office or cease to be Members, they can find themselves in the invidious position of having no payments due to them.
