I move the motion standing in my name and in that of Deputy Alfred Byrne (Junior):—
That Dáil Eireann is of opinion that the allowances to blind persons are totally inadequate, and requests the Government to introduce amending legislation that will permit the total payments from all sources to be increased.
If ever any section of the community deserved consideration at the hands of an Irish and a Christian Government, that section of the community are the blind persons in our midst who, in many cases, are suffering very grave hardships. It was on their behalf, I put down this motion.
