No. 25 of 2005Social Welfare Consolidation Bill 2005
Public bill · Government · Introduced
The Social Welfare Consolidation Bill 2005 would bring Ireland’s social welfare rules into one law, replacing the 1993 consolidation Act and 18 later amending Acts. It would gather the rules for social insurance and assistance, payments such as Child Benefit and the Respite Care Grant, claims, inspections, appeals, overpayments and repayments, and contributions by liable relatives. As a consolidation measure, it is mainly intended to make existing law clearer and easier to use, rather than introduce major new welfare policies.
