Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Perhaps the Minister could explain why he is not accepting the amendment. It has been a week or two since the last time we debated this legislation, so perhaps the Minister might explain his reasoning. It is seeking to speed up decisions of the deciding officer to prioritise older applicants and to set out how the deciding officer should do this. Will the Minister explain why he is opposing this amendment, because it is a reasonable?
