'Flawed' HMRC system stops hundreds of child benefit payments

Hundreds of child benefit payments in Northern Ireland are stopped due to a 'flawed' HMRC system that mistakenly flags families returning via Dublin Airport as emigrants. Sinn Féin MP Dáire Hughes criticizes the system and highlights the impact on affected families. HMRC apologizes for the errors, reinstates 134 payments, and plans to introduce upfront checks to avoid similar suspensions, emphasizing the need to protect taxpayers' money.
