This Order brings Part VI of the Social Welfare Act, 1993 into effect from 25th June, 1993. | ||

Existing provisions in the case of social insurance payments are provided for collectively in Chapter 17 of Part II of the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act, 1981 . In the case of social assistance schemes the relevant provisions are provided for separately for each scheme in the Consolidation Act or by way of regulations. |
