Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed)
9:00 pm

The fact that the take-up was low and that it was done on a voluntary basis gives us some information as to how we can work with lone parents and other qualified adults. It is not something that can be looked at in my Department alone. There are issues in regard to child care, educational participation and so on.
