asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will arrange to have better facilities provided in the sub-post offices in the Kimmage, Crumlin and Ballyfermot areas for the more expeditious payment of children's allowances, and thus obviate the necessity for queuing in inclement and cold weather.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Facilities for Payment of Children's Allowances in Dublin.
About 5,650 children's allowance payments are made at six sub-post offices in the areas mentioned. The staff at these offices is augmented on the first Tuesday of each month when the payments become due. Every possible effort is being made to minimise delays in making payments, but some delay is unavoidable on account of the large numbers seeking payment at the same time.
