Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

Approximately 18 months ago, before the media began to take an interest in this matter, I highlighted the fact that, for example, lone parents' SSIA earnings were being calculated in advance of when their interest accrued and certainly prior to the end of the scheme. The levels relating to when they would qualify for grants were applied before these people actually received or could access their money. That was cruel and unjust. Does the Minister plan to reverse what happened in this regard?
