A Sligo/Leitrim TD has questioned the cutting of child benefit to some people after they were questioned at airports while going abroad.
About 2,000 people going abroad have had their Covid-19 payment stopped.
But speaking in the Dail last night, Fianna Fail Deputy Marc MacSharry described the cutting of child benefit -- which is available to everyone -- as mean-spirited and wrong.
He called on Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys to have her department examine the situation.
