On budget day the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection said there would be no reductions jin social welfare payments in 2015. In the light of that assertion, will she confirm whether she will now proceed with the planned reductions to the one parent family payment scheme next year, namely, her plan to lower the cut-off age to seven years and further reduce the income disregard from €90 to just €75 from 1 January 2015?
