Social Welfare Code

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

I wish to ask the Minister for Social Protection about the recommendations from the child maintenance review group. This is an area that has long been in urgent need of reform. The challenges that lone parents face, the fact they have to fight this battle on their own, very often, and the fact that their income from maintenance has been taken into account for means has created a lot of challenges for a category of people who, more commonly than most, are at risk of poverty. I seek an update from the Minister on the implementation of the recommendations from the review group.
