On my own behalf, and as Ms Smith put it, having a child poverty and well-being office in the Department of an Taoiseach should be able to bring all of those agencies together. Whether it is a social protection issue, a health service issue or a Department of justice issue, that office should be able to bring all of that together. I hope that, as a result of that, we will be able to work collectively across Departments. We had Department representatives at the committee recently discussing the exploration of an additional targeted child benefit payment. What is Dr. O'Connor's view on that? Will Ms Bayliss then give her view?
