Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI
2:00 am
John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)
In terms of the cost, it is estimated to be in excess of €700 million. How did the ESRI come up with that costing? Where does it see the means test sitting? Does the ESRI have a figure in mind for the means test, such as, let us say, anyone with more than €50,000 does not qualify? What is the ESRI suggesting in that regard?
