Social Welfare Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)
To combat child poverty we have introduced the largest increases in child benefit in the history of the State, and we are proud of that. I welcome the €10 increase in pensions. In future, Fianna Fáil pledges to raise the old-age pension to €200 per week.
