Social Welfare Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages
6:00 pm
Willie Penrose (Westmeath, Labour)
I gave the Minister too much credit. The widowed parent's grant increased by €1,300, not by the amount I said, but it is still significant, with an increase of over 50%. Is that paid to every widow? What are the qualifying criteria? Is it a universal payment, providing a widowed parent has a child?
