Dublin South West Sinn Féin TD, Seán Crowe, has called on the Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton to end the uncertainty and unnecessary worry being experienced by families surrounding the continuation of child benefit. He was speaking after the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection heard submissions from the National Women’s Council of Ireland and the End Child Poverty Coalition regarding the Mangan Report on Child

Benefit. Deputy Seán Crowe said: “The Government, via the Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore, Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn and Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton, have sent out mixed messages over the last week regarding child benefit. “Ruairí Quinn has suggested that further cuts to child benefit could be introduced to subsidise an additional free pre-school year. Eamon Gilmore has said after that no further changes to child benefit

will happen. But the Oireachtas Social Protection Committee has already heard that Joan Burton has asked the Advisory Group on Tax and Social Welfare, Chaired by Ms. Ita Mangan, to look again at her Child Benefit thresholds. “We know that the first report of the Advisory Group has already been brought to Cabinet by Joan Burton. “I am urging Minister Burton to end the doubt and shelve this Mangan Report and recommit to her original Labour

Party election promise, not to cut child benefit. “We know that when Ms. Mangan gave a detailed technical briefing on her report to journalists and lobby groups that she added to the uncertainty. Her comments that there was "no point in suggesting there won’t be losses for some people in this change," contradicted those of Eamon Gilmore. “She initially suggested better off people will lose and some lower income families will gain, which seems fair,
