One-Parent Family Payment
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-03
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

It is fair to say that in the case of foster care arrangements, the legal responsibility for the child remains with Tusla, although I reiterate I am happy to engage with the Deputy on this matter. It is important that we encourage as many people as we can to foster children because they provide a great service to the State. While Tusla supports them financially, I do not see any reason we cannot examine this, and I am happy to work with the Deputy in that regard.
