I have it. This links with my original figure of €146 or whatever at which one would be cut off from 100% of the payment if one had income from employment. I will try to answer the question myself now that the Minister has provided the figure. A person with an income of up to approximately €140 will retain the full amount of the one-parent family payment, but if one earns more than €140, the one-parent family payment starts to taper off and is fully removed once a person's income from employment reaches €425. Is this the gist of the Minister's comments?
