Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
11:00 am
Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)
I welcome the measure but given that there are so many lone parents, how is it proposed that 30 facilitators will be able to deal with so many lone parents case by case? I welcome the Minister's approach and what he is trying to achieve but does he believe €6.5 million is sufficient to deal with the existing need?
