12:00 pm
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
There has been an increase. An extra €10 million has gone into home care packages announced in this budget. Many people with disabilities have said it would have been worse to take away services than the payment, no matter how difficult that is. With regard to young workers, the best way of reducing the social welfare budget is to get people back to work.
