Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 21:

In page 14, after line 25, to insert the following:“10. The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection shall, within six months of the enactment of this Act, prepare and lay a report before the Houses of the Oireachtas outlining potential actions in relation to social welfare supports and services in the context of the Climate Action Plan and “just transition” to include a consideration of—

(a) fuel allowance,

(b) policy and practice around Housing Assistance Payment and Rent Supplement,

and

(c) training for caseworkers and preparation of targeted social welfare education, training and employment services for those currently in sectors likely to experience downsizing as part of a just transition.”.
