The Taoiseach:
The Deputy is correct; the programme for Government commits to retaining the child poverty and well-being programme office in the Department of the Taoiseach. I have decided to retain that with a view to breaking down silos across Government and driving the delivery of measures aimed at reducing child poverty. There are six full-time equivalent staff. This comprises one principal officer, two assistant principal officers, two administrative officers and one Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES, intern.
