asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will make arrangements to have a sister-in-law included in the statutory conditions for a prescribed relative allowance.
Ceisteann—Questions. Oral Answers. - Prescribed Relative Allowance.
24.
The subject matter of the Deputy's question is at present under consideration in my Department.
I have been approached by several people in my constituency who are being deprived under the regulations relating to the conditions——
A question, please, Deputy.
——and I would appeal to the Parliamentary Secretary to have this relative included next year.
I can assure the Deputy that a decision with regard to this matter will be given as soon as possible.
If a sister-in-law why not a brother-in-law?
