Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2009: Committee Stage
2:00 pm

There is a bit of a conflict in that people welcome the introduction of the preschool year. They think it is a good idea but it has to be funded from somewhere. We are not in a situation where we can continue to pay the supplement and introduce the preschool year. On balance, it is better to take the direction we did.
