Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed)
5:20 pm
John Kelly (Labour) | Oireachtas source
Everybody expected a tough budget. We knew that social welfare was going to be hit, although we thought more would be taken from the social welfare budget. My Fianna Fáil colleagues would readily admit that the social welfare rates are too high. Where would they take ¤400 million from the social welfare budget? Will they even give us an idea at this 11th hour?
