Apologies; I was late. I had car troubles. I have read all the notes. I am from Laois; I am conscious Deputy Aird may have asked these questions already. I apologise if he has. We have no food banks in Laois. It is desperately needed. For a couple of years, we have been trying to get it off the ground. What steps are being taken to help this situation? Child poverty and food poverty are big problems in Laois.
