Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

The only way to address that is to change the law, and we will attempt to do that tomorrow morning with our Bill. We will see what way the Taoiseach votes tomorrow evening. I ask the Government not to submit an amendment in order to kick the issue down the road for another year. There may not be much more than a year left in this Government's term of office. People are getting sick of things being kicked down the road. We need to deal with them now. These are people's everyday living standards. Young people should not be discriminated against.
