Austin Deasy
Question:12 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will extend the payment of child dependent allowance for children who remain in full time education on reaching the age of 18 years to those in receipt of unemployment benefit, disability benefit, short term unemployment assistance and supplementary welfare allowance in view of the financial hardship caused to families on the discontinuation of this and in view of the fact that pay-related benefit no longer exists; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
