Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development

Child Poverty: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Rónán Hession:

The current number of recipients in terms of families is 2,100. That represents about 4,000 children. The budget measure will probably help about 250 families. We find it is quite a slow exit rate to full employment from disability payments, which is part of some separate discussions about how we help people with that.
