I will be very brief. This is a disgusting and contemptible amendment that is directed specifically at the weakest and most vulnerable sections of our community. I would be ashamed to have my name attached to such an amendment and I call upon the proposers to withdraw it. The figure of €12 million is a piddling amount of money. It would not fill a pothole in Mayo and the Senator is bellyaching about it.
