Appropriation Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-14
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (CC), Industrial and Commercial Panel

As the Minister has said, while it is a routine procedure, it is important that An Post has sufficient moneys to pay in a timely fashion at the start of next year the State pensions, children's allowance and other benefits it pays out. It was a comprehensive opening statement, and I am sure none of our Senators is going to repeat everything the Minister said, but will welcome the Bill in their own way. Senator Davitt has six minutes, but as I often say on this one, that is a maximum rather than a target.
