The Leas-Chathaoirleach will be glad to hear I will be brief. I support the amendment. There is a need for specific measures to assist those in receipt of jobseeker's transitional payment when they are taken off the one-parent family payment when that is their wish. I do not need to tell the Minister we must consider the fact that lone parents raise their children without the support of a partner so we cannot push them into finding employment when caring duties are, understandably, their priority.This must be respected. I just wanted to add my voice to the amendment.
