Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Committee Stage
12:00 pm
Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael)
The Minister referred to getting young people back to work but, for example, the capital budget for schools will be reduced. She mentioned opportunities for young people coming on stream in the construction of schools. Will she explain that anomaly? In condemning the cutbacks, people's indebtedness has not been taken into account. That is why there is stress. Everyone fell foul of indebtedness during the Celtic tiger, including social welfare recipients.
