    My daughter's Educate Together NS starts at 8:30. Was essential when I was working. I would also like to see creches and after school services stay open later than 6pm. You need a very understanding employer to always be able to make the 6pm deadline.

    It would be hugely beneficial if they worked with the schools so school started at 8:30, so you could get to work. This is even harder for mothers with different gender kids & have 2 drop offs at 2 schools.

    A couple of hundred children in buggies parked outside the department every day would focus their minds. Great weather (at the moment) for an outdoor creche.

    Yet they still haven't and many lone parents forced out of work in the name of 'activation'.

    'The Dept of Social Protection’s own study recommendations said that consequences of the policies which could result in a decrease in income for lone parent families should be rectified to ensure that being in work leads to these families being better off”

    An Taoiseach making promises but Min Donoghue states different priorities in other media. Listen to whole Govt msg. More focus in lowering taxes so don't expect much investment on this "reducing costs". Will be on reducing taxes to middle Ireland.

    The is a flawed concept that puts labour market activation above choice in childcare. Lone parent families must have all of their needs taken into account including flexible working

    Oh the irony! Lone parents who lose their one parent family when child turns 7 were promised affordable childcare. The new excludes the payment they transfer to (Jobseeker Transition) from receiving full subsidy.

    So as part of 'activation' measures when a child turns 7, you lose childcare support?? Tell me how that works again??

    The primary cause of homelessness is eviction from the private rented sector . Many families then stay with extended family. when this breaks down, superficial studies record this as ‘family breakdown’

    A mother I know was pressure to get a job, got a job and then the school reported her to Tulsa for leaving her 12 year old alone for an hour a day till she got back. Trapped every which way.

    Single Mam of 3 (youngest 4) I went back to gain a qualification to be employable, the truth is, the more I work the harder i'm hit everywhere...I want to work but I have to be smart for myself and my family. I stress about the future! the older children are the more they cost!

    This is a serious challenge on the integrity of academic work. Academia should stand firm on any govt bias that leads to their work being undermined

    When introduced draconian cuts to lone parents she appeased opposition by stating she'd commission a report to check it's impact. The report didn't suit govt agenda so was undermined. Now authors have a study on how academia is attacked if it doesn't suit gov't agenda

    Not to mention you be won't be asked to produce any more reports. Which evolves into a very compliant cadre of report makers...

    Well done this is important work and very timely

    So moral of the story, if you don't produce report the govt wants, they will work hard to undermine your integrity and independence. Reports are commissioned to silence opposition and then dissenting evidence is either buried or undermined.

    Older children's (12+) minimum needs cost €122 per week, almost €50 more than younger children. needs to address these additional needs, providing an additional €5 per week to the QCI for older children in social welfare dependent families

    This is a very important analysis of the use of research into the impact of cuts and reforms on in Ireland and how this research has been used politically. One-parent families are still poorer today as a result
