asked the Minister for Social Welfare if it is proposed to publish a new edition of the Summary of Social Insurance and Assistance Services; and, if so, when.

An updated version of the Department's information booklet Summary of the Social Insurance and Assistance Services is normally published annually. As the changes in the social security schemes announced in the Budget will be implemented by October next, it is intended to provide a revised version of the booklet at that time.

Could the Minister say how many copies will be printed?

"Corrathónach" is the only word I could use to describe what the Deputy is at. There is no decision on numbers.

The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
