I have two brief questions. One concerns the Children's Rights Alliance which made a specific appeal about the habitual residency condition concerning child benefit. The CRA said the State was out of touch with Article 2 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which deals with non-discriminatory aspects. I ask the Minister to examine that matter.

Has any consideration been given to increasing the PRSI rate on high wages - that is, the portion over €100,000? We are out of sync with other countries in that regard. Such a move would significantly increase the social insurance fund and that would allow some recovery for the fund.

I have a lot of other questions but I will table them as parliamentary questions.
