Social Welfare Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-09
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I see now from where the Deputy is coming. As I said, the Government has set up the Commission on Pensions and has asked it to look at all of the matters mentioned in the amendment. The commission is doing its work and I do not think there would be any point in us starting to prepare a report. We will provide the commission with all of the supports that it needs to deliberate and look at all of these issues. That would be a better exercise so that we can provide the members of the commission with all the information they need to make a recommendation by June of next year.
