Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)

I agree with the Minister. I agree also with my colleagues from the point of view of people snooping. That is an outrage and I would hate to be that poor unfortunate social welfare inspector. However, at the same time it is unfair for people who are obeying the Department's rules and trying to work in low paid jobs to see people cohabiting and claiming two benefits when they should not be. I agree with the Minister's point about fraud. Something must be done in that regard. It is rampant across the country. I support the Minister in every way possible to stamp out fraud because we need to have a level playing pitch.
