Coalition 2030 states that all of this area should be moved to the Department of the Taoiseach.

One cannot go any higher than the Department of the Taoiseach. On the other hand, the witness is saying that there should be a future generations commissioner, who would not have any power in the area of developing policy. What would the future generations commissioner do? It is another office that will be fully staffed, I presume, and it would cost a good few million euro a year to run it. That office, whether it is the commissioner who would be in control of it, would, I presume, identify and highlight poverty traps.
