- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: I apologise for being obliged to leave the room but I was called out momentarily. Deputy Ryan has asked one or two of the questions I had intended to ask, as to what were the witnesses' proposals for reform. As the witnesses are aware, the Mangan report drew on contributions from many organisations. Did they feed their proposals to the team that drew up the report? I have my doubts about...

Marie Moloney: On the taxation issue, how would a low-income family benefit from a credit given that it probably would be outside the tax net?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: In case I was taken up incorrectly, I did not say that high earners would resent people. I said that people on low and middle incomes with children over five years of age, who would not benefit from the free pre-school year, might have a resentment that they are paying for it but not benefiting. I certainly am not worried about the high earners and whether they would resent it. That is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: What about the council’s input into the Mangan report? What are the council’s thoughts about the fact that child benefit is paid abroad to families with one parent working here? It is a question I have brought up with many, including MEPs, but have never got a straight answer on it. I believe that in such an arrangement the child benefit should be paid at the rate of the home...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)

Marie Moloney: Why would they not draw down a pension from this country?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: With all due respect, that is not going to stop them drawing a pension. There are many Irish people living in England drawing pensions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: Yes, but I would not say they will not be able to draw a pension as there is a bilateral agreement with most countries in this regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (22 May 2013)
Marie Moloney: No, not at all. Up to 520 paid contributions is enough. Under the bilateral agreement with other countries, the contributions they pay in their home countries will give them a pro rata pension from Ireland.
- Seanad: Criminal Law (Human Trafficking) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (23 May 2013)

- Seanad: Criminal Law (Human Trafficking) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (23 May 2013)
