I welcome the legislation proposed by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to deal with fraudulent claims. This issue must be addressed. To make it an act punishable as an offence of perjury, where one will have to swear an affidavit in advance of setting out a claim, is welcome. The initiatives being taken by this Government, as clearly outlined and which will be implemented over an 18-month period as promised, are visible. We have had confirmation of this from the Tánaiste this evening. I congratulate the Government and hope it will be supported in this action by all sides of the House. Rather than add insult to injury, the Labour Party should withdraw its amendment and support this Government motion.
