I apologise for not having been here for the start of the presentation. However, I attended the workshop so I am familiar with the case being made by Pavee Point. I welcome Ms Curran to this meeting to make her case.

Ms Curran made a number of recommendations for the Department of Social Protection. Will amending the guidelines be sufficient or is there a requirement to change the law? I ask that the committee send the recommendations to the policy section of the Department for a specific response on each. Very often, we send a report to the Department and it just lies there. This deserves a specific response.
