Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he will explain the recent decision by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, to impose effective cuts of €50 per week to the fostering aftercare allowance, with an apparent lack of regard for the impact this cut will have on those in aftercare, and on the families trying to support them; if viability studies were undertaken to determine the impact this cut will have on those in continued education; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
