Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI
2:00 am
John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)
I have a supplementary question. Has the ESRI done any research on the child support payment or the follow-up on that? Has there been a take-up on that? For example, it was mentioned that the 50% take-up on the working family payment is quite low. Has the ESRI done any research on the child support payment? I know many people might not be aware that there is an additional payment on top of the child benefit payment that could be available to them.
