The Public Accounts Committee has heard that €20m in child benefit payments are being sent to support children living abroad.
Department of Social and Family Affairs Secretary General Bernadette Lacey said it was supporting 10,000 children abroad and this would continue until the child is 18 years of age provided that one parent is living and working in Ireland.
