Ceist:344 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the need for flexibility in applying eligibility limits to the children's back to school clothing and footwear scheme; his views on the need for resolution of those cases where income is only very marginally above the eligibility limit, such as in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow where a limit of £210.30 is exceeded by £4.30 with the application being refused on this basis; his views on whether this appeal should be heard and the original decision revoked; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
