I thank the Minister for his response but I dread to hear the word review, because it seems to me to be a stalling tactic used to kick the can down the road. I would prefer to hear a date for that report. The Minister says the review will be completed at the end of this year, but I ask for a specific date for that report. Parents in lone-parent families are struggling. An EU standards of living report published in 2014 clearly showed that 59% of lone parent families struggle and experience material deprivation. This is an issue that we need to tackle head on and we need that report published, not just the review completed. The report must be published because we cannot have families struggling to get by on a daily basis in 2016.
