Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. R?n?n Hession:
As I said, that report is with the Minister. It has not yet been brought to the Government. It will need to be brought to the Government for a decision around what will be done as regards implementation and what the Government will do on foot of the advice in that report. Any decisions around changes in maintenance payments generally, or with regard to the specific issue of payments between two social welfare recipients where they are either side of a maintenance arrangement all falls to be considered then. As I said, we expect that probably by the end of the year.
There was one other question on the gender impact of automatic enrolment.
