Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Social Welfare Benefits: Discussion

Mr. R?n?n Hession:

I will find the answer to the question and share it through the clerk.

The Deputy asked a more granular question about farm assist figures and I have a note on those relating to qualified adults and qualified children on the farm assist scheme. As my colleague, Ms Hurley, has said, there are approximately 4,700-odd on farm assist. The qualified adults number 1,895 and there are approximately 2,800 qualified children on the full rate, with a further 850 on the half rate. The total beneficiaries, including the primary recipients and dependants, number approximately 10,300. The Deputy asked about those figures.
