Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

It is interesting that Senator Leyden started a name and shame campaign and Fine Gael has set up a website on the matter.

Senator Finucane raised the issues of poverty, community welfare officers and homelessness with reference to rent supplements. Senator Hanafin also raised the elderly and the young. I hope that those in receipt of social welfare will get their due increases in the budget and I am sure that will be the case.
