Mr. John McGeady:

On that point, there are many additional actions the Government can take to support children. It is very important to remember that poverty is ultimately about an inability to have necessary material needs met and to have social inclusion, and this is because of a want of money. Many other positive actions can be taken by the Government but ultimately, they are mitigating the impact of inadequate incomes rather than addressing it. As Ms Murphy said, it is crucial that we get into addressing the incomes going into families and households.
