PQ 780
780. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance if he will examine the absence of any tax support for grieving parents who were cohabiting at the time of their partner’s death; if he will consider a review of the widowed parent tax credit to assess whether its eligibility criteria adequately reflect modern family structures; and his plans to address this policy gap in order that bereaved cohabiting parents with dependent children are not left without comparable support.
