Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 12:

In page 3, before section 3, to insert the following new section:

"3. The Minister shall, as soon as may be, after the passing of this Act prepare and lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas a report on the impact of increasing the minimum contribution all recipients of Supplementary Welfare Allowance Rent/Mortgage Supplement are required to make towards their accommodation by €1 per week to €13 per week.".

Will the Minister outline the impact that last year's cuts had and how many people were affected by them?
