Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection her views that a system which prohibits a cohabiting unemployed parent from claiming a jobseeker's benefit based on the income of the other parent is a contributing factor to social protection fraud in some cases, whereby parents in relationships can, on occasion, claim to be separated in order to receive benefit under the one-parent family payment scheme and the jobseeker's scheme; and the action she has taken to ensure that honest persons are not a loss while unemployed.
