Personal Insolvency (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-04-23
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I thank the Minister. That deals with my concern because the matter is being dealt with in a different place. However, I may introduce an amendment on the qualified child payment on Report Stage. Children's allowance is the general payment but qualified child increase is another payment specifically around children. I will take an advisement on the calculation of net disposable income and how social welfare payments play out in that. I will take on good faith the Minister of State's assertion that social welfare payments will be addressed within that space.
I will withdraw my amendments while reserving the right to come back to the issue on Report Stage.
