The Government is reducing the rates of payment to the disabled, those who cannot see and the mothers who depend on child benefit, as well as the income of parents struggling to repay mortgages and in some cases facing repossession. Is this the legacy that the Members opposite want? If it is, they should walk through the "Tá" lobby. If not, they should have the moral courage to vote "Níl".
