The amendment is specific in the sense that it does not ask for the measures; it asks for a report on child poverty rates. It does not ask for any of the measures Deputy Brady refers to. It is quite specific. I want to be fair to everyone. The Deputy is asking for a report to be published annually and laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on the State's child poverty rates. It is a statistical report on child poverty rates. That is the amendment the Deputy has tabled. The Minister is indicating that these figures are already being published. The question comes back to the Deputy. Does he wish to press the amendment?
