The Minister may not have the information in front of her but I would be interested to know whether the Department has a breakdown by family size because the eligibility is dependent on family size. It would be interesting to me and the other members of the committee to have a sense of this. I assume it is people with larger families who tend to avail of the working family payment but I would not like to rely on that assumption without having hard figures.
