PQ 346
346. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Social Protection if she would consider increasing the income limit for the back-to-school allowance, as the €60 increase to the working family payment may result in an unintended consequence of many households’ income going up and, as a result, not qualifying for the back-to-school allowance, given the importance of back-to-school costs support; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
