Mc K (F) v L (O)
Mc K (F) v L (O), [2010] IESC 51, [2011] IR 63 is an Irish Supreme Court case in which the court held that under section 5 of the Family Law (Maintenance of Spouse and Children) Act 1976 that an award payable in instalments by the Residential Institutions Redress Board was income and thus can be taken into account by the court in deciding the issue of maintenance.

Background
The applicant in this case was seeking maintenance for support of two children from the respondent following the provisions of the Family Law (Mainteance of Spouse and Children) Act 1976, as introduced by the Status of Children Act 1987 .The Applicant and the Respondent were not married but had two children together in 1996 and 1998. The children resided with the applicant who had full custody of the children. The 1987 Act dealt more specifically with maintenance orders concerning dependant children whose parents are not married. In the District Court it was discovered that the respondent was receiving weekly payments from a settlement of a claim from the Residential Institutions Redress Board. The District Court wanted details regarding the amount the respondent was receiving. However, the respondents solicitor stated the details as to the amount could not be released as there was a confidentiality requirement regarding the claim on each applicant to the Residential Institutions Redress Board following section 28 of the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002 (named; 'prohibition on disclosure of information').
