	Lowth v. Minister for Social Welfare
		In relation to taxing statutes (which are in one sense the converse of social welfare legislation in that the former are the means by which public revenues are exacted so that they may be dispersed in part at least pursuant to the welfare codes).
		This situation was changed by the provisions of the Social Welfare Act 1990 which substituted a new Chapter 5A in the Act of 1981, thereby removing the provisions which had been made for a deserted husband’s allowance.
		That wives deserted by their spouses between 1970 and 1990 were more favourably treated in respect of social welfare payments than husbands similarly deserted during the same period is beyond dispute.

	95-03-08: Statement by Ireland, HE Mr. Proinsias de Rossa, TD (EN)
		The Irish Famine of the 1840s is noteworthy because it was the last time, other than during war, that a community in Western Europe faced poverty in the absolute form of mass hunger due to a failure of a subsistence crop.
		Our objective is to build a socially and economically inclusive society where equality of treatment, opportunity and esteem are the norm and where a participative democracy is the guiding principle in the economic and social spheres as well as in the political.
		The poor and socially excluded of Ireland and other developed countries may no longer be facing hunger to the same degree as they did in the 1840s; they are, however, facing lives of misery surrounded by "plenty".

	Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations (CIGO)
		Unfortunately, the Minister's argument falls short of the point in that this database (quite rightly) will not be open to the general public; in addition, citizens have a habit of contracting business requiring the production of a certificate of birth, death or marriage with organisations other than Irish Government Departments.
		The Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations (CIGO) said the Social Welfare Act, 2002, removes the public's right to view original registers of births, deaths and marriages.
		Unfortunately, the subject did not win the Minister's support and the amendments were defeated.

	8 Dec 04 Social Welfare Bill / Speeches / In the Dail / Home - Green Party / Comhaontas Glas
		While this area represents this year's decentralisation in terms of the Minister for Finance's Department, the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs needs to acknowledge that there are several areas in respect of which the Government has failed to say anything and failed to meet the needs of many involved in the disability movement.
		The purpose of the Social Welfare Bill is to give effect to the budget announcements in the area of social welfare that were announced last week by the Minister for Social Welfare.
		I wish to refer to disability benefit payments for which the Minister has only partial responsibility.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 175 - 27 May, 1959 - Committee on Finance. - Vote 61—Office of the Minister for Social Welfare (Resumed)
		The Minister for Social Welfare apparently thought he saw that there was a deeply hatched plot to secure from this commission a recommendation in favour of the taking over of workmen's compensation from private insurance companies and the administration of that scheme of compensation by the State.
		Carroll: The statement of the Minister for Social Welfare last night that the lot of our people, in particular, their salaries, has improved might be true of a certain section, but I should like to draw the Minister's attention to a group of our people who can be classified as destitute.
		That being the case I feel the Minister could inspire more confidence in the appeals machinery if arrangements were made for as many appeals as possible to be heard locally and disposed of after hearing the local evidence of the parties concerned.

		However, the appointment of Proinsias de Rossa at social welfare, three junior ministries and Pat Rabbitt as a special advisor to the government seems to have been the formula which enabled the Democratic Left party to join the three way alliance.

	Sinn Féin: Changes in rent supplement scandalous say Sinn Féin
		No evidence has been given showing the necessity for this change and it appears from the disagreement between the Junior Minister with responsibility for Housing and the Minister for Social and Family Affairs that there has been no cross- departmental consultation on its impact or implementation.
		While the rent supplement scheme does not represent a preferable method of assisting people in housing, in the absence of housing reform it fulfills a very necessary function, which enables many people who would otherwise become homeless to remain in private rented accommodation.

		Under the agreement, it will be possible for these workers and their family members to qualify for partial U.S. or Irish benefits based on combined Social Security credits from both countries.
		The agreement, which will be administered in the United States by the Social Security Administration, will also help enhance Social Security benefit protection for people who have spent time working in both countries.
		At present, some workers who have divided their careers between the United States and Ireland fail to qualify for Social Security benefits from one or both countries because they have not worked long enough to meet minimum eligibility requirements.
