Ceist:94 Ms Shortall asked the Taoiseach if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties faced by lone parents in applying for the posts of FÁS of census enumerators in spite of their specific targeting for these posts; and the reason steps were not taken with the appropriate authorities in advance of these posts being advertised to ensure that secondary benefits, such as rent allowance, were retained by lone parents in view of the short-term nature of this employment.
