Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development

Child Poverty: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Rónán Hession:

I was on the child maintenance review group. It was a very important outcome of that report that we no longer count child maintenance in the social welfare means test. I had a meeting with my counterpart in the Department of housing about two or three weeks ago on this very specific issue to see what it can do.
