Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages
10:30 am
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)
We have no problem at all in using electronic means. We are wondering why the electronic means were not used already for fingerprinting machines to be used in the Garda immigration bureau. That was meant to happen four years ago. We are all in favour of using electronic means in order to combat fraud in particular in the social welfare system. We support such efforts but perhaps the Minister will comment on the fingerprinting machines.
