Miners' Compensation
3:00 am
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
I am examining the disablement benefit and occupational injuries scheme. They are the only two schemes within the remit of my Department relevant in this case. I am looking to see whether there is any leeway within the narrow confines. It is important to emphasise that it is in that context alone that I, as Minister for Social Protection, can examine the issue.
