Social Welfare Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
I am sure that the Senator, over the next year, will look at the relevance of the increases in social welfare benefits in the context of the NAPS and the programme for Government, both of which will be reviewed in due course and are always discussed at the social inclusion committee of the Cabinet. I appreciate what the Senator has put forward but I am not in a position to accept the amendment.
