Ms Eilís Ní Chaithnía:

As I mentioned, pensions broadly should be prioritised with the universal pension and the home-maker's credit coming under that. During the debate on the Social Welfare Bill in the Seanad, a commitment was made in the context of producing a report on the impact on lone parents of social and economic changes that have taken place since 2002. We would be really interested in seeing the results of that. If it was done in an appropriate manner, and we can certainly feed into framing that, it would be interesting. The prioritisation of lone parents is key because they have been one and remain one of the most disadvantaged groupings. The third item would be driving the gender equality budgeting process. It is tricky choosing between that and the increased resourcing of child care. If the Deputy would accept a fourth item, it would be child care. Those would be the three items on the list.
