Absolutely.

On the topic of disability, we had a motion on the cost of disability last night in the Dáil. We had a very good discussion. The motion was not opposed by the Government, but neither did the Government support it. That is up to the Government. By any reasonable calculation, the Disability Federation of Ireland, DFI, and other organisations are telling us that persons with disabilities are going to be somewhere in the region of €1,000 to €1,400 worse off as a direct result of the budget. That is exacerbated when there are children in the household. We are talking about the group most at risk. Is enough being done or can more be done to assess the impact on households with, or headed by, a person with a disability or on one-parent households? They seem to be the groups at the highest risk of poverty. We are still catching up from the implications. I recall the "7 is Too Young" campaign. The legacy of that is still being felt. Will the witnesses comment in this regard, starting with Ms Bayliss?
