Contrary to the spin that Fianna Fáil lifted social welfare recipients out of the poverty trap, it compounded the poverty further and deeper. Deputy O'Dea is correct that there was a presentation on lone parents' matters. He knows that 22.1% of lone parents, which is one of the groups over which he cries crocodile tears in this House, live in a constant state of poverty, but that is thanks to his party, Fianna Fáil.
