Social Welfare Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-09
============================================================

Denis Naughten (IND), Roscommon-Galway

As I stated, this is the third budget in which this has happened. The Minister is saying the qualified child allowance is paid on top of the working family payment. If that is the case, I will reluctantly concede on this occasion but I do not want to see this happening again, for a fourth time. We cannot have the affected families singled out for special treatment. It is not right.
