asked the Minister for Social Welfare when it is proposed to introduce proposals for legislation for a comprehensive social security scheme.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Social Security Scheme.
It is not practicable for me at this stage to name a date for the introduction of these proposals. I can assure the Deputy that I am anxious for their early introduction and that no unnecessary delay will occur in the matter.
May we take it that the scheme is ready? We were told it was before the election and there should be no delay at all.
It is not ready for the Dáil.
