Social Welfare Payments
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-24
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I thank the Minister for that comprehensive reply. I am not going to prolong my question because other Members' questions are grouped with it. I congratulate the Minister on identifying the areas she has referred to and for acknowledging the fact that there are people who are in particular difficulties at the present time, through no fault of their own, due to the fact that circumstances have changed, inflation has taken off or there may be an illness in the household that changed the whole situation for individual families. I merely suggest that the Minister continue to monitor these situations with a view to making any changes that are required when and if possible.
