Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

General Scheme of the Social Welfare (Child Maintenance and Liable Relatives) Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. R?n?n Hession:

I might ask Ms Nic Giolla Mhicíl if she has anything to add closer to the operational detail on this. At budget time we often have changes in rules, disregards and so on, so we normally have to do reviews. Then we go back and check whether people's entitlements change. That is a process we have to go through, so we will be engaging with customers directly and, if necessary, supplement that with whatever public messaging we need to do. Part of the reason we have taken a bit of time with this is that we have to change our systems and so on. That is all progressing well. We are on track with that. I do not know if Ms Nic Giolla Mhicíl wishes to speak to the actual process of liaison.
