It is assumed that the Deputy is enquiring about increasing the earnings disregard on the one-parent family payment to €120 per week as opposed to the stated €120 per month.

The information that the Deputy has requested is currently not available in my Department. Given the complex nature of the request, my Department will provide the information directly to the Deputy in due course.
