I enclose for the Deputy’s convenience a tabular statement detailing the number of persons in receipt of one-parent family payment by age of recipient, the percentage of the total recipients by age and the provisional cost of the scheme at the 31st of August 2013. Statistics on expenditure at age level are not compiled by my Department, However I am informed that the average weekly payment to one-parent family payment recipients at the end of August 2013 was €222.24.
