DÁIL DEBATES
- Questions to the Taoiseach: Capacity Legislation
Deputy Denis Naughten (FG): …The second legislative measure relates to ratification by the Government of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. To ratify this, we must pass the mental capacity Bill. Will the Taoiseach indicate whether it is the Government’s intention to publish this legislation prior to the end of this year and the commencement of the next session? Will he return to the House to clarify that once this legislation is enacted it will then be possible to ratify the UN convention without further impediment?
The Taoiseach (Brian Cowen TD): The legislation, which is the mental capacity Bill, is the responsibility of the Department of Justice and Law Reform. The detailed provisions of the Bill are at an advanced stage of drafting and it is expected that it will be published in the current Dáil session.
Deputy Denis Naughten: I accept that it is at an advanced stage. However, it must be enacted by 1 January 2011 and I am seeking clarification on when it will be published.
The Taoiseach: As soon as it comes to Government and is approved.
Deputy Denis Naughten: Once the finance issues are in motion in the House there will be only approximately two weeks during which this issue can be debated on the floor of the House. The legislation could be expedited and at least published so we can get consultation and discussion on the Bill before it is introduced to the House so that it will not be guillotined.
The Taoiseach: I know what the Deputy has to say and I will ask to see whether it is possible. We will publish it as soon as it comes and is approved by Government.
Deputy Denis Naughten: Will the Taoiseach come back with regard to ratification of the convention?
The Taoiseach: I will ask the Whips.
PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS
- Reason persons on disability benefit are not eligible for the labour market activation scheme
Deputy Olivia Mitchell (FG): asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills the reason persons currently on disability benefit who could benefit from further training are not eligible for the labour market activation scheme;
Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Seán Haughey): The Labour Market Activation Fund sought proposals from organisations for the creation of full or part-time training and education provision targeting specific priority groups among the unemployed, namely — the low skilled, and those formerly employed in declining sectors such as construction, retail and manufacturing sectors, with particular emphasis on the under 35’s and the long-term unemployed (i.e. unemployed for at least one year).
For the purposes of this Fund, prospective participants on programmes eligible for Fund support must be jobseeker’s who have been in receipt of an unemployment payment for a period of at least three consecutive months. Everyone who satisfies this criteria, including anyone who has a disability, is eligible to participate.
Eligibility criteria for individual social welfare payments is a matter for the Minister for Social Protection.
Deputy Billy Timmins (FG): asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a matter (details supplied);
Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív): Details of Estimate Provision and outturn in respect of Vote 38 Department of Social Protection and the Social Insurance Fund for 2002 to 2009 and up to 30 September, 2010 are set out in the tables. Social Insurance Fund outturn figures provided for 2009 and 2010 and Vote 38 outturn figures for 2010 are provisional and subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
