Éamon Ó Cuív: It has been clear for some time where the Labour Party stands.

Rural Areas: Motion (Resumed) (14 Dec 2011)

Social Welfare Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The idea of giving a half rate was to try to support people who paid their contributions. As Deputy Boyd Barrett has said, €400 a week is not a big income. Am I correct in thinking that the loss of income through this change is as follows? For a family with four children half of the rate per child is €15, if we ignore the 20 cent on the full €29.80. If we multiply that by four it...
