In terms of child poverty, it is good to hear the witnesses are all speaking about having a cross-departmental approach. It is absolutely essential that there be a cross-departmental approach but also that there be good working relationships between the various agencies such as Tusla, the educational bodies, etc., and I hope we see that because it is a necessity for tackling child poverty. In regard to the roadmap for social inclusion, will Mr. Egan give an update on how that worked? Did that plan work and how can we make sure its successor plan works better in tackling child poverty?
