Child Poverty: Discussion

Peter Roche (Galway East, Fine Gael)
I have a final question, Chair - I will not hog it. It is suggested that the family resource centres in Galway have a considerable waiting list for basic supports such as food banks and budgeting advice. How would the witnesses see their Department channelling or targeting that so there are no deficits? In other words, will people who pop into the family resource centre find, within a reasonable timeframe, the advice and supports they are really waiting for?
