Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Can we tease out some of the benefits of sending this order to the Oireachtas committee? I would also like to know why overpayments might take place. Given we are moving from a ¤2 per week repayment threshold to a 15% of the overpayment per week, has it been poverty-proofed? As many Senators are members of the social protection committee, I do not see why we cannot have this discussion here rather than sending it to the committee.
