Brendan Kenneally
Question:556 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason an inequality exists in relation to the scheme run by the community of religious in Ireland known as the part-time job opportunities programme, whereby a married man loses all the benefits he has when going on the scheme, whereas a lone parent would lose only 20 per cent of his/her benefit; the plans, if any, he has to eliminate this inequality; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
