Deputy Ciara Conway asked the Minister for Social Protection if her Department will recognise and vindicate the exceptional welfare needs of women and children who experience domestic abuse, as the system currently creates several barriers to women moving on from domestic abuse situations (details supplied); if she is aware that delays in processing social welfare payments such as jobseeker’s payment and one-parent family payment, can result in families remaining in refuge, thereby blocking the service from other clients or the family returning to the abuser; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
