One Family call for the establishment of Statutory Child Maintenance Agency
[Dublin, 15 July 2019] One Family- Ireland’s organisation for people parenting alone, sharing parenting, and separating today released the results of a national survey of parents in relation to child maintenance. The launch comes as the charity launches its new child maintenance position paper.
Karen Kiernan, CEO explains: “We know from our services and particularly calls to our national helpline, askonefamily; that parents really struggle with understanding how to come to an agreement around how much child maintenance should be paid and what to do if it is not paid. Nearly half of the respondents who are the primary carers of the children do not receive any child maintenance at all, whilst most people have had to resort to court to come to agreement.”
Of the 1,068 respondents to the survey 58% resorted to court order to agree child maintenance, while 42% of the parents who are primary carers do not receive any child maintenance. However, 75% of those who do receive payments reported that they are paid regularly. When it comes to agreeing how much parents should be paid only 9% of respondents said it was determined by the needs of the child.
Kiernan added, “We are launching our new position paper on the thorny issue of child maintenance as for too long governments have ignored it, happy to leave it to parents and courts to battle things out. This is not working for anyone as children and parents can end up financially worse off or abused, our courts are jammed delivering maintenance orders that they cannot enforce, and we are again decades behind our neighbours across Europe.”
“What we need is a statutory child maintenance agency as part of a comprehensive Court Welfare Service that can determine appropriate levels to be paid in a fair child-centred way; that has the ability to ensure that children and families actually receive the maintenance and removes this issue from our adversarial courts system.”

Reports pile up with evidence about what needs to be done to unlock lone parents and their children from the poverty trap
[Dublin, Thursday 4
July] One Family – Ireland’s organisation for people parenting alone, sharing
parenting and separating has called on the Government to urgently
implement the recommendations of the eight Government and independently
commissioned reports published since 2016 on one-parent families and poverty.
All eight reports make similar recommendations and urge the implementation of
targeted supports for one-parent families. The call comes as One Family
publishes its Pre-Budget Submission for Budget 2020 ahead of the Department of
Employment Affairs & Social Protection’s Pre-Budget Forum on 5 July.
One Family CEO Karen
Kiernan said, “In the last three years, eight reports on one-parent families
and poverty have been published; and are now piling-up on shelves in Government
departments. Each report paints a similar picture of children growing up in the
grip of poverty. These families are consistently among the worse off in our
society, they are disproportionately represented in the homelessness figures
and the living standards of working one-parent families are now amongst the
worst in Europe[1]. This is
just not right – these are real families, with real children and their lives
matter.We need targeted measures that support one-parent families to support themselves
out of poverty. Government needs to prove it is listening to its own research
and do the right thing.”
Ms. Kiernan added, “In
our Pre-Budget Submission we have outlined eighteen targeted measures based on
the research that, if implemented, would significantly change the lives of
thousands of children. We want Government to respond to the evidence with
compassion and justice in Budget 2020 by developing a cross-departmental
response to the needs of one-parent families. If this problem is tackled now,
we will avoid condemning another generation of children and their parents to
poverty and this is not something we want as a society.”

About One Family:
One Family is Ireland’s organisation for one-parent families and people sharing parenting, or separating, offering support, information and services to all members of all one-parent families, to those sharing parenting, to those experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and to professionals working with one-parent families. Children are at the centre of One Family’s work and the organisation helps all the adults in their lives, including mums, dads, grandparents, step-parents, new partners and other siblings, offering a holistic model of specialist family support services.
These
services include the lo-call askonefamily national helpline on 1890 662212,
counselling, and provision of training courses for parents and for
professionals. One Family also promotes Family Day every May, an annual
celebration of the diversity of families in Ireland today.
Statistics
on one-parent families:
There were
218,817 family units with children (of any age) headed by a lone parent (Census
2016).
1 in 4 families
with children in Ireland is a one-parent family (Census 2016).
1 in 5 people in
Ireland live in a one-parent family (Census 2016).
356,203 children
lived in one-parent families, representing more than one in five or 21.2% of
all children in family units (Census 2016).
In November 2018, 14,349
One-Parent Family Payment recipients (39 per cent of all recipients) are in
employment, and of 14,418 Jobseeker’s Transition recipients, 4,037 recipients
work. The Working Family Payment is an important support for working parents;
almost half of recipients are households headed by a lone parent.
The Survey on
Income and Living Conditions 2017 (SILC) revealed that one-parent family households
experience the most deprivation in Ireland. Almost 45% of lone parent
households experience more than one form of deprivation.
Children living in one-parent families had
the highest consistent poverty rate at 20%. This is
compared to a consistent poverty rate of 3.9% for two-parent households. This
means that lone parents are five times as likely to be living in consistent
poverty compared to two-parent households.
One-parent
families continue to have the lowest disposable income of all households with
children in the state (SILC 2017).
60% of homeless
families living in emergency accommodation are one-parent families, at any
time.

Dublin based training programme records 85% success rate in supporting lone parents to education and employment
[Dublin, 26 June 2019] Karen Kiernan, CEO of One Family – Ireland’s organisation for people parenting alone, sharing parenting and separating has called on the Government to make the award-winning New Futures training programme available nationally. The European Social Fund (ESF) funded programme recorded an 85% success rate in 2018 and is currently only available in Dublin. Ms Kiernan was speaking at a graduation ceremony for parents of the New Futures and New Steps programmes at the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission offices in Dublin.
Ms
Kiernan said, “The success of our programmes shows how targeted supports, such
as these specialist training programmes, can support parents on social welfare
out of poverty and back to education or employment. These parents are full of
potential, hugely resilient, adaptable and committed; they are looking for
support so they can support themselves and their families and this training should
be available nationally, not just in Dublin.”
Ms
Kiernan added, “The European Social Fund (ESF) have funded New Futures and New Steps for three years and we are extremely
grateful for their support. But despite its success, the long-term future of
the programme remains uncertain.We
are calling on the Government and the Department of Employment Affairs &
Social Protection to provide mainstream funding for these programmes so parents
around Ireland can benefit. In 2018, 85% of graduates who completed New Futures went on to further education
or employment. We must support parents so that they can support themselves out
of poverty.”
New Futures graduate from 2018 and lone parent of
four children, Louise Finnegan, said, “The programme has been hugely beneficial
to me. I was supported and challenged to be the best person I could be. But
it’s more than that, you feel part of a community and whatever challenges you
face there is somebody there to lend a hand. Through the programme I’ve had the
opportunity to travel to Luxembourg to speak at a conference and I returned to education
last September. One of the best things about the course is that my children see
me challenging myself, doing assignments and being confident and that helps
their confidence and self-belief.”
Ms
Kiernan added, “We are asking the Government and the Department to invest in
targeted, measurable supports that make a tangible difference to parents’ lives.
Government have all the evidence from their own reports including the Joint
Oireachtas Committee for Social Protection Report on the Position of Lone
Parents in Ireland – they know one-parent families are some of the poorest
families in Ireland and they know what is required to address it. We are asking
them to take a first step and fund a programme that is proven to work and to
make it available in every county in Ireland.”

The Coalition for YES, a coalition of NGOs and lawyers, have welcomed the resounding YES vote in the divorce referendum.
Speaking as the results rolled in, executive director of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL), Liam Herrick, said: Ireland is obliged by European and international human rights law and standards to protect the right to privacy and family life. With this vote, we have taken a huge leap towards protecting the rights of people who need a divorce. It will also help to ensure that people who are stuck in dangerous or financially and emotionally distressing situations can be freed from them.
Karen Kiernan, CEO of One Family, said: This vote is a big step towards making Ireland a more compassionate and humane place for people going through a divorce. We know from our work with families separating that on a practical level it will reduce stress and financial expense for families.
Eilis Barry, Chief Executive of the Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC), said: FLAC welcomes the positive result today, this is a much needed step to reduce the pressure on divorcing couples navigating the legal system. However further progress is needed. There needs to be serious investment in the area of family law in particular with regards to the provision of legal aid and the much needed overhaul of the family law courts.
Keith Walsh, family law solicitor and Lawyers for Yes, said The result of the change to the constitution will help separating couples and their children. It is a victory for progressive changes to family law. Ministers Madigan and Flanagan deserve great credit for ensuring this referendum was brought and passed. But, in case they are resting on their laurels, there is still more reform of the family law system urgently needed. A dedicated family law court system is long overdue as is the immediate replacement of the Victorian courthouse currently used for District Court cases for the Dublin area. Basic resources are required to ensure the voice of the child is heard in the family law courts and to ensure the rights of children are vindicated and protected.
Tanya Ward, chief executive of the Children’s Rights Alliance, said: This referendum was essential to address our punishing divorce laws. Children need to be protected during divorce. Our new divorce law and family supports need to be designed with this in mind. The Coalition for YES is a coalition of organisations and lawyers, led by the Free Legal Advice Centres, the Children’s Rights Alliance, One Family, family law practitioner Keith Walsh, solicitor Muriel Walls, Catherine Forde BL and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

By voting YES tomorrow you can help to change the lives of thousands of men, women and children across Ireland. People don’t marry thinking they will divorce but sometimes it happens and we need a compassionate and considered response to this reality.
In our work with couples and families separating, we see the devastation that the long wait period can have on each member of the family. Lives put on hold while they wait. Waiting that can breed conflict and resentment. We see people who have thoroughly moved on from the relationship, who obtained degrees, post-graduate degrees and started new families while they wait.
Tomorrow please have a plan in place to get to your voting station to cast your vote; it is important. By voting YES, you can reduce some of the stress and conflict on these families. You will be able to give people the time they need to make the decision that is right for them and their children. A shorter divorce process can also be beneficial for children who will gain greater certainty about their family situation.
The referendum will not change the constitutional requirements that mean that before a divorce can be granted a Court must be satisfied that proper provision has been made for both spouses and their children and that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation before a divorce can be granted.
The referendum also means that legally obtained foreign divorces can be recognised more readily in Ireland as this causes significant difficulties for many people who wish to remarry here.
Voting Yes means we can:
Remove unnecessary restrictions on divorce from the Constitution that cause uncertainty and conflict for families and children.
Make
a difficult process more compassionate and give a couple the time they
need to make the decision that is best for them and their children.
Recognise that the Constitution is not the right place to deal with complex personal issues.
Tomorrow please vote YES and make Ireland a more compassionate place.
Thank you.

The
Irish electorate will be asked to vote in an important referendum on
divorce this Friday. As a coalition of civil society organisations we
are calling
for a yes vote so that we can have a better, more compassionate process
for people who need it.
On
Friday, people will be asked to approve an amendment to the
Constitution to remove the requirement for spouses to live apart for a
minimum of four years
out of the preceding five when applying for a divorce. The new
proposals would reduce that to two years out of the previous three. For
people who got divorced abroad, a yes vote means they will clarify the
law on the recognition of foreign divorces.
By
voting yes, we can reduce some of the stress and conflict linked to the
divorce process. We will be able to give a couple the time they need to
make
the decision that is right for them and their children. A shorter
divorce process will also be beneficial for children who will have
greater clarity about their living situation. The referendum will not
change the constitutional requirements that before a
divorce can be granted a Court must be satisfied that proper provision
has been made for both spouses and their children and that there is no
reasonable prospect of reconciliation before a Divorce can be granted.
The
Constitution is not the right place to deal with complex personal
relationships. By voting yes on Friday we can create a more
compassionate and supportive
divorce process for couples and families in Ireland.

(Dublin, Tuesday 15 May) On UN
International Day of the Family, One Family, Ireland’s organisation for people
parenting alone, separating and sharing parenting calls on the Government to
change the Parental Leave Act to give lone parents the same leave entitlements
as two parent families.
One Family CEO Karen Kiernan explained:
“While we warmly welcome the Parental Leave Act 2019 we are calling for
Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty, to
change the provisions of the Act to give one-parent families the same leave
entitlements as two-parent families.
“Our concern is that leave is to be non-transferrable
between parents. So, while two-parent families can maximise the amount of time
they spend with their babies, those who are parenting alone have only a limited
period. We ask that the fourteen weeks of paid parental leave available to
parents in a two-parent family is made available to a lone parent. This is in
order to provide equal access for the baby to their parent in this critical
time.”
Kiernan
further comments: “Currently the only reference to transferring leave to an entitled parent in the
Bill is where one parent dies, which means that the Scheme is recognising only
one type of lone parent thus ignoring others. We call on the Minister to fix
this anomaly. There should be an exception made to the non-transfer rule
for lone parents to other designated people and for the sake of their babies we
are asking the Minister to make this change.”
One Family was founded in 1972 and is Ireland’s leading
organisation for one-parent families offering support, information and services
to all members of all one-parent families, to those experiencing an unplanned
pregnancy and to those working with one-parent families. Children are at the
centre of One Family’s work and the organisation helps all the adults in their
lives, including mums, dads, grandparents, step-parents, new partners and other
siblings, offering a holistic model of specialist family support services.

Leading national NGOs come together to call for a Yes vote in the
upcoming Divorce Referendum
Five leading national organisations came together today in a coalition calling for a Yes vote in the upcoming referendum in relation to divorce on Friday 24 May.
FLAC (Free Legal Advice Centres), the Irish Council for
Civil Liberties (ICCL), One Family, the National Women’s Council of Ireland
(NWCI) and the Lawyers for Yes have all come together to call on
voters in Ireland to support a referendum that will deliver a better divorce
system for people who need it.
On 24 May, people will be asked to approve an amendment to
the Constitution to remove the requirement for spouses to live apart for a
minimum of four years out of the preceding five when applying for a
divorce. The new proposals would reduce
that to two years out of the previous three. It is also proposed for the vote
that foreign divorces are recognised here. There will be one question on the
ballot paper and voters can either vote Yes to allow both changes, or No to
reject both changes.
Karen
Kiernan, CEO of One Family said: ‘We know from supporting
thousands of separating parents and families that we need a more humane and
compassionate divorce system in Ireland and this referendum is a step towards
achieving that.’
Jennifer
McCarthy Flynn, Head of Policy of NWCI explained: ‘Nobody marries imagining they
are going to need to go through a divorce process. However, circumstances
change and some couples will decide that divorce is the best way forward for
them and their family. We should be supporting them in order to decrease the
stress and conflict involved, not making it unnecessarily difficult.’
Liam Herrick,
Executive Director of ICCL said: ‘We have repeatedly seen that our
Constitution is not the right place for complex detail relating to family life
– we believe that it is more appropriate to remove the wait time for divorce
from the Constitution altogether and allow Government legislate in this area.’
Keith Walsh,
Lawyers for Yes Campaign explained: ‘It is really important that we
continue to take steps towards a complete reform of our divorce and family law
system in Ireland to bring it into the 21st century. We still need
to see the Family Law legislation published; new specialist child and family
court system as well as a new Children’s and Family Law Courthouse in
Hammond Lane built; and appropriate resources for courts to deal with the
current volume of work.’
Eilis Barry,
Chief Executive of FLAC concluded by stating:
‘The irreconcilable breakdown of a marriagecan cause a great deal
of stress both emotionally and financially for families. The current 4 year
wait period is an extra unnecessary barrier to accessing a legal remedy for
these families. This referendum is a chance to improve the process for those in
an already difficult situation.

Government inaction on childcare and housing means that work does not pay for many one-parent families
[Dublin, 5 March] One Family, Ireland’s organisation for people parenting alone, sharing parenting and separating said that Government inaction on childcare and housing means that work does not pay for many one-parent families. The statement comes following the publication of a new report from the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP), entitled Working, Parenting and Struggling, which found that the rate of in-work poverty among lone parents more than doubled between 2012 and 2017.
CEO of One Family Karen Kiernan said,
“Successive Governments have pushed one-parent families off social welfare but
have failed to put adequate supports such as income supports, accessible
childcare or housing supports in place to make work pay. This new report from
SVP adds to the pile of Government-commissioned research and independent research
all saying the same thing – the majority of lone-parents and their children are
living way below the poverty line and forcing them off social welfare into
low-paid precarious employment is not working.”
Ms Kiernan added, “The Indecon report (2017)
which examined the impacts of Budget 2012 cuts on lone parents, said 63% of
respondents in full-time employment couldn’t afford 3+ items on the deprivation
list, meaning that they are experiencing deprivation daily, and in-work poverty. Who is concerned about
the fact that they are fulfilling Government policy by working full-time but
their children are suffering?
The SVP’s Working, Parenting and Struggling report states that lone
parents in Ireland are almost 5 times more likely to experience in-work poverty
than other households with children (20.8% compared to 4.2%). Figures that are
backed up in the SILC report published in December 2018 which said that
individuals living in households where there was one adult with children aged
under 18 continue to have the highest consistent poverty rate at 20.7%.
“Work should pay. Budget 2019 included a number of welcome improvements in income supports for one-parents families but more needs to be done.
