Higgins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs his views on whether the rules and rates governing secondary benefits can, at times, result in severe poverty traps; his plans to reassess the household income threshold of €317.43 for retention of secondary benefits such as rent supplement; his views on raising the income threshold to €400, in view of the fact that this is the amount it would be had it been indexed originally; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
