Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
1:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
I thank the Minister because, as she has often done in the past, she has educated me. This is complicated legislation and I do not think we have debated it excessively. I take it that the reference to section 193 in Schedule 1 to a qualified person applies to people who would otherwise be technically qualified for social assistance and that is how people who are at work are still entitled to child benefit because they are not qualified persons for social assistance.
