Proposal to increase the grant
Molloy proposed raising the grant to £100, noting it had not increased for about 20 years. The Minister said its value needed to be considered alongside other grants, and clarified that he had not said they would be discontinued.
Nach ceart anois an deontas seo a ardú suas le £100 mar nár ardaíodh é suas le 20 bliain.

Ní aontóinn leis an Teachta gan scrúdú a dhéanamh ar an loighic a bhaineann le íocaíocht a leithéid de dheontas. Mar atá a fhios ag an Teachta tá sé fite fuaite le deontais eile agus ní féidir an deontas sin a thógáil leis féin.

An bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Aire anois é sin a chríochnú chomh maith le deontais eile atá stopaithe aige?
