Paddy Burke (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

While I do not question the ruling made by the Cathaoirleach, I ask him to reflect on the fact that moneys collected under the social welfare legislation are not a charge on the Exchequer. Moneys paid for dental or other treatment that are collected through the social welfare system are not a charge on the Exchequer. I do not think the ruling is proper in that regard. I have to support Senator Craughwell on this.
