Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-11
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I want to home in on one particular piece of language the Minister of State has used in response to the measures that have been taken to help people. The Minister of State refers to the fuel allowance increase of €3.50, which will go to a broad range of lower-income households. I will keep this very simple. Is the Minister of State disputing that a couple on the minimum wage will not qualify for that fuel allowance?
