Ryan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the fact that without a change in the eligibility threshold, the €10 increase in lone parents allowance in 2004 has resulted in women on the jobs initiative scheme losing out substantially and to such an extent that many of them had no alternative other than to opt out of the scheme; the amount of money and benefit lost to participants continuing on the scheme arising from the €10 increase; and the way in which she proposes to deal with this anomaly.
