Seanad debates

Wednesday, 19 November 2003

The second recommendation is "to inform policy makers and key decision makers about critical issues." The agency has given us a booklet and, therefore, I presume we are expected to read it so that we will implement what it considers the best policies. The third aim is "to work with our partners to improve the availability of low cost child care" but the crèche allowance has been abolished. The fourth aim is "to work with our partners to improve income supports for lone parents." This has been severely affected by many of the measures introduced by the Minister. The final aim is "to work with our partners to make it easier for lone parents to stay in education, training and employment", yet the back to education allowance has been decimated.
