Yes, I am being very serious.

I ask the Leader if he will ask the Ministers for Social Protection, Health and Children and Youth Affairs to come before the House to explain exactly what budget 2016 will mean for their Departments. One of the clearest examples I can give is the weekly increase of €3 in the old age pension. That amount is a pittance and it would not allow a person buy three quarters of a pint of Guinness in one of the cheapest pubs in Ireland.
