Social Welfare Payments
Dail Éireann — 2026-09-24
============================================================

Eoin Hayes (SD), Dublin Bay South

My question is about the uptake of the working family payment. As the Minister knows, child poverty is one of the priorities for the Government and a major scourge within our society. I would like to hear how the Government is focusing on getting families who need that payment and would do very well with it to take it up.
