I respect the Cathaoirleach, but the Minister lied knowingly and misinformed the people. Worse, the most disgusting thing he could possibly have done was to say that the money accruing from Seanad abolition would be invested in the areas of disability and health. Since the Government took over two and half years ago, the one opportunity we lost here was to kick the Social Welfare Bill that cut the respite care grant by over 20% far back down the hall.
