116. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection if changes have been made to the rules governing single male parents' rent supplement that until recently could be paid for a two or three bedroom house, depending on the number of children the father has access to as part of custody arrangements; if community welfare officers have been instructed to only provide a single person's allowance in circumstances where the applicant is not claiming social welfare for his children, meaning that he is being deprived of his right to family life; and if so, whether she will take steps to reverse the directive.
