Social 3 questions
- 2023-10-24 Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason lone parents working on CE schemes are excluded from receiving the €400 cost of living payment, given the scheme’s proven track record of helping people who are long-term unemployed and disadvantaged to get back to work by offering part-time and temporary placements in jobs based within their local communities. [46362/23]
- 2023-10-24 Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason the qualified child payment only saw an increase of €2 in Budget 2023 and €4 in Budget 2024, despite the ESRI repeatedly pointing out that substantially increasing the payment has the potential to make significant reductions in child poverty.

- 2023-10-24 Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Social Protection the number and percentage of lone parents in receipt of the working family payment from the beginning of 2018 until the end of 2022; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46363/23]
