Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

My question is very specific in relation to the status of the development of the straw-man proposal for the restructuring of long-term disability payments. It is a most unfortunate title, the straw-man proposal. I do not know who picked it. I doubt if it was the Minister. The Minister will be aware that this arises out of the roadmap for social inclusion. It was one of the commitments. We have had two assessments of that and we are in the middle of a review of it. I will come back to the concerns in relation to these disability payments. I would be grateful if the Minister could update me on it.
