Committee on Children and Equality

Child Poverty and Deprivation: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Susanne Rogers:

On conditionality, that links to accountability and so on and relates to the questions of how much State interference there should be in the family. To date, we have removed ourselves from that. We were talking about the conditionality, and, as the Senator said, there is a question of “We will provide social housing supports if you meet the following criteria.” Is it a case, as the Senator said, that it could be if you send your child to school, if you meet the district nurse and so on?
