363 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason when assessing maintenance as means for the one parent family allowance that the remainder is then assessed as means for the purposes of assessing family income supplement even though the payment for a qualified child is only €29 and that in many cases not only is this amount fully deducted but more if the maintenance payment is more than €60 and that the payment available for FIS is reduced based on the second half being assessed as means; and that the child gains no benefit from the maintenance paid by the absent parent.
