Dara Calleary: I thank Deputy Wall for the amendment. Amendments Nos. 18 to 20, inclusive, are grouped together. I do not propose to accept these amendments, which are possibly irrelevant owing to other related amendments being ruled out of order. I wrote to Deputies Wall, Quaide, Coppinger and O'Reilly on this issue after Committee Stage. There are provisions in the Bill removing the eligibility of...

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 7: In page 8, to delete lines 4 to 8. To be fair, this definition is really only relevant as a test of whether the couple was living together in an intimate relationship.

Social Welfare (Bereaved Partner’s Pension and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages (2 Jul 2025)

Claire Kerrane: I just want to clarify what I said. If my constituent's partner had died in December 2024, she would have got that payment from then on.

My point is that the date should not matter, but it is going to...
