Mr. Niall Egan:

It is really important that we can stand over a social welfare system that has a direct impact in improving people's lives, that we can measure it and make measurements that are comparable with other social welfare systems. That is a really valuable insight into the effectiveness of the social transfer system. That is the key indicator we have and can build upon for next year's public service performance report. Regarding the question on means, I know where the Deputy is coming from but the means test review will be the output that probably best answers his questions.
