Leaders' Questions
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
I know the Deputy understands this. Currently, when a child reaches 16 years, he or she receives disability benefit of €188 per week. Until he or she reaches 18 years, his or her parents or carer will receive €309.50 per month. From the age of 18 years onwards, the young adult will receive the payment in his or her own right. I used the words "not have them sidelined," not "in line."
