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 thank the Deputy and note his points on the jobseeker's transitional payment and the working family payment. In respect of the timescale, I thank the committee for accommodating and facilitating the process going ahead. That is much appreciated. We are already engaging with the Parliamentary Counsel.
Subject to the Business Committee and scheduling, we would like to see this enacted in this session so we would be in a position to commence it and bring it into play as soon as possible.
