Margaret Murphy O'Mahony (Fianna Fail)

I thank all the witnesses for attending today and providing an opening statement. I also thank them for the work they do. I know they all work extremely hard. We have a lot of groups present and I am limited with my time. Unfortunately, I will not be here for the second round because An Taoiseach is coming to Seanad Éireann, so I will have to be there. I will target my questions and I ask the witnesses to be brief in their responses. I will get through as many as I can.

I will start with Ms Canavan and Ms Visser from the Department of the Taoiseach. How will the child poverty and well-being dashboard be used to influence policy decisions and resource allocations across Departments?
