Hugh Byrne
Question:165 Mr. H. Byrne asked the Minister for Social Welfare if his attention has been drawn to the fact that people on community employment schemes are not entitled to a family income supplement in spite of the fact that their status is that of a worker due to the fact that since April 1996, they pay A rate contributions and are working a minimum of 20 hours per week; if he will reconsider their entitlement to a family income supplement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
