Keep the lone parents payment until the children finish secondary school.

Joan Burton please give this serious consideration. This cut will be the nail in the coffin for many single parents.

Joan should be ashamed of herself leaving the people in poverty that voted her into power may they run her out she's a disgrace

get this stopped. mothers have suffered enough cuts

This is a disgrace how do they expect people to live? rights? What rights they are leading us into poverty we are struggling to get by as it is especially with rent gone up our money is going down are they backwards budget Joan fat gowls pocket how there getting away with this I'll never know without her so called job she's nothing she's just a number to the government like the rest of us the sooner she gets off her high horse the better

leave them lone parents alone thats what the are lone p

I always worked but had to give up when I found it impossible to find someone to look after my autistic child. If i loose this payment, how am i gonna find a job that finishes in time for the school run. Its virtually impossible

Ridiculous that this is happening!!!

Loan parents should have a payment until their children leave secondary school.

Its a cut too far reverse it now

Its a cut too far reverse it now

I would love to keep my one parent family payment unstill my daughter is19

I am a single mother. And this would be best for me as it is not easy to get a job and rare a child at the same time.

Leave lone parent alone

I am a single parent to 3 children but I am lucky enough not to have to rely on lone parent payments. I think it's an absolute disgrace to penalise these people who are already struggling, as if the job they do isn't hard enough as it is, ye are making it even harder, really don't know how the government sleeps at night.

Please do not cut the lone parents allowance.

Joan burton and the rest of that shambles of a government should be ashamed of themselves

leave the lone parents alone #EqualityForChildren

Lone parents are never gonna be able to afford childcare on minimum wage, which is all unskilled workers get....this government needs to be thrown out NOW

Blatantly dishonest spin by Taoiseach Enda Kenny in Dail on this cut and Tanaiste Joan Burton has not only reversed a definitive pledge not to do this, but won't even address this issue now as she claims it is a matter for another minister! Why am I not surprised! Yet another reason never to vote FG/Labour again.

Another blatant attack on some of the most vulnerable in our society.Joan Burton & Labour should hang their heads in shame.
