Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2005: Report and Final Stages.
5:00 pm
Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)
I second the amendment and support the idea of a bond, in principle. I would be interested to hear the Minister's response to this proposal. As Senator Terry said, it has been found necessary to put such a bonding system in place in other sectors. Given the impact on people of losing their pensions, should a provider fail to do what it says it will do, the idea certainly seems to be worth considering.
