Northern Ireland welfare cuts
Senators exchange accusations about social welfare and economic policy in Northern Ireland, including the roles of Sinn Féin, the DUP and previous governments.
I refer to Senator Rose Conway-Walsh's contribution on cutbacks during the last the Fianna Fáil-led Government six years ago. It is unfortunate that she did not refer to the swingeing cutbacks in social welfare payments in Northern Ireland which have been presided over by Sinn Féin and its buddies in the DUP.

The Senator should get his facts right.

Fianna Fáil is a Twenty-six Counties party, a partitionist party.

It is a pity Sinn Féin could not support the SDLP's proposal to take responsibility for the economy and the social welfare budget in the North rather than handing it back to the Brits.

What does the Senator know about it?
