Mr. Francie Molloy:

I thank the witnesses very much for their presentations. It raises many different issues that politicians and people who deal with legislation need to look at to make sure they are protected. Reference was made to people who live in the North and work in the South andvice versa.

One of the problems for people from the South working in the North and whose childminder operates in the South is that the British tax authorities refuse to recognise that situation and to pay out on the vouchers for those individuals. This makes matters very difficult for people who are obliged to crisscross the Border because they are left out of pocket and this increases child poverty and raises the issue of working mothers. Has the Children's Rights Alliance had any experience of that problem or is there any solution in respect of it?
