Child Poverty.
3:00 am
David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)
Is the Minister telling us that this proposal, which was first recommended by the Commission on Social Welfare in 1986, is being completely abandoned? What are the most up to date figures regarding child income poverty in Ireland? I refer to both forms of poverty - consistent poverty and relative income poverty - that would be addressed by the proposed new payment.
