Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

We will have to take this issue into consideration when considering the thresholds. The cost in a full year of increasing the threshold would be in the region of €7 million, which I do not possess. I hope that supporting people by way of family income supplement will address their concerns. I will advise Senators how we propose to proceed. I have asked the Department to facilitate people in completing their application forms so that there will be no loss of income for those on the jobs initiative scheme.
