As Barnardos and other organisations, including the State, have said, 65,000 children live in consistent poverty, so I welcome anything that is targeted at them. One cannot beat the Civil Service. It presents the increase fairly "standardise all three qualified child allowances. . . as a single payment of €22 per week".
