MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor T. Costello 

That this Council calls on the Minister of Social Protection to introduce a General Maintenance Collections Agency, given the continuous difficulties that single parents face collecting maintenance and the need to go to court to have court orders enforced when they are not abided by. This Agency is necessary in order to protect parents from having to chase these payments and in order to put an end to this form of financial abuse.

REPORT:

If this motion is agreed, a letter will be issued to the Minister for Social Protection. A response, when received, will be circulated to the Members.
