I think it's a payment you get after you give birth. Not an expert though.

Here's the citizens info page:
http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/social_welfare_payments_to_families_and_children/one_parent_family_payment.html

This bit here has me thinking it's only for after the birth:

If you are single, you should apply within 3 months of the birth of your child.

Do you have any other children?

Have you applied to the CWO for supplementary welfare?
