	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.
		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".
		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.

	8 Dec 04 Social Welfare Bill / Speeches / In the Dail / Home - Green Party / Comhaontas Glas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		While welcome, the 14 increase in the lowest rates of social welfare benefit will necessitate the Government indulging in similar increases in the next two budgets to meet its commitment of giving social welfare recipients levels of income that are 30% of the average industrial wage, or 50% of average household incomes.
		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.

		I want to know further from the Minister what his view is with regard to the effect of this appointment on the Civil Service generally and in particular on the members of the Department of Social Welfare.
		Minister for Social Welfare (Dr. Ryan): That is not an uncommon suggestion from the Deputy.

		The experience of the Irish welfare agencies in Britain is that many Irish prefer to speak to “one of their own” and that they require a culturally sensitive service to meet their health and welfare needs.

		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.
		Curiously, the new Social Welfare Act strips my Catholic fellow citizens of the right to search the civil registers of Catholic marriages (which date back to 1864) and which are held by local superintendent registrars of births, deaths and RC marriages.
		THE Irish government is considering limiting access by the public to records concerning the births, marriages and deaths of ancestors (Irish Examiner, March 28).

	Lowth v. Minister for Social Welfare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	Henry Denny & Sons (Ireland) Limited v The Minister for Social Welfare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The significance of the distinction is that if such a demonstrator is regarded as being employed under a contract of service, then he or she is an insurable person for the purposes of the Social Welfare Acts, 1993 to 1997.
		In the case of Ms Sandra Mahon who performed such services for the appellant, a deciding officer, an appeals officer and the chief appeals officer in the department of the respondent were of the opinion that she was employed under a contract of service and hence was an insurable person.
		It should also be noted that the Supreme Court of the Irish Free State in Graham v Minister for Industry and Commerce [1933] IR 156, had also made it clear that the essential test was whether the person alleged to be a "servant" was in fact working for himself or for another person.

		The way forward in the Minister's opinion is to balance concern about the costs of social protection with the necessity to ensure social cohesion.
