Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.
I thank the Minister for his statement. The Minister's announcement will mean more onerous evidence checks on claimants to confirm their eligibility. That will fall on the already pressured staff, who are doing their best to manage the social security system. How will the Minister ensure that capacity exists within the system to roll out the changes?
