The British government has reversed its two-child limit on benefit payments for larger families. The policy originated under the Conservative Party.

Ciara Ferguson, Sinn Féin MLA for Foyle, stated the change corrects a measure that harmed vulnerable children and families. She noted it affected thousands in need.

Ferguson praised individuals who pressed the government to end the restriction. She described ongoing budget reductions as evidence of Westminster's neglect toward local residents.

Sinn Féin plans to pursue support for disadvantaged families, workers, and communities in a united Ireland.
