Social Welfare Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed).
7:00 pm
Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)
I too congratulate the Minister and wish him well. Having worked closely with the Minister in the same constituency for more than 20 years, I know his capabilities. There is no better Minister to take control of this Department and turn it around. As the Minister said, the Department of Social and Family Affairs is not about rules and regulations, but about people. Its responsibility is to reach out to those who are marginalised and disadvantaged.
