Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
3:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
I welcome the clarification the Minister has given. It is a good idea to have payments collected weekly.
Another element in the article I read stated that people are not normally asked for clear or photographic identification. Can the Minister consider introducing that through regulation? The same article had a build-up of so many incidental facts that an accurate case was suggested. It was suggested that some people were getting colleagues or friends to sign on for them and there was no photographic check, such as a driver's licences or passport.
