Ms Catherine Kellaghan:

Not that we are aware of. The safety net is the fact that FIS is unique among the social welfare schemes in that it is routinely reviewed every year. If there are any shenanigans of any kind it will be picked up at the renewal. However, we have not seen that as any type of pattern.

In addition, I wish to reassure the committee. As we have been aware of the one-parent family transitions, the work to get their payments increased in July for the families that are already on FIS has already been done, so they will not see any delays. We are also anticipating a spike in new claims that will arise from that, probably in July and again in September when children go back to school. We are making plans for that as well.
