An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

With the decision to impose a curfew after midnight on nightlife and the recommendations to work from home from Friday, many people who work in those areas or who depend on those areas for work will lose income and, in many cases, lose their jobs outright. Against that background, it is completely unacceptable that today we should be reducing the PUP. Not only should we not cut the PUP but also we should restore the PUP and income payments for those who will be significantly affected by this latest turn of events with Covid-19.
