Yesterday, the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection had a discussion on the one parent family payment and the impact on 2 July when 39,000 lone parents will find themselves moved from that payment to jobseeker's transition. On the basis of the discussion yesterday, will the Government organise as a matter or urgency a meeting with those affected and the One Family organisation to discuss the issues?
