Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal West, Sinn Fein)

I apologise for not being here at the beginning. I was speaking in the Chamber, but I did read the submission. There is some very interesting information in it. It references the need to reduce the barriers to work. I am sure I am not the only person grossly offended by Simon Harris telling people to just get off their backside and get a job and that will get them out of poverty, which, of course, we know it will not because the rates of in-work poverty are actually increasing. When the report refers to barriers, is it talking about the cliff edge or are there other barriers that we, as a committee, should be aware of?
