‹ Order of Business Fines deducted from welfare payments
Summary
Michael Healy-Rae asks about proposed fines deducted at source from social welfare; the Taoiseach says the Bill’s heads were approved and publication is expected next year.
People on social welfare feel terrorised, harangued and harassed by the suggestion that fines and charges may be taken at source from social welfare payments. When is it proposed to introduce the fines Bill and is it proposed to use that Bill to target these people in the way proposed by the Government?
