The statistics and the research the ESRI has done show how important the in-cash child benefit model is. This is a position paper, a research paper. How quickly do witnesses think this can be introduced? Is there draft legislation? I know they have to work with the Minister, but it seems like something we have to prioritise as a matter of urgency.
