Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

The Department and I are currently reviewing the establishment of the commission and I hope to be in a position to make an announcement in the near future. I hope the issue of child and family income supports will be the first matter to be considered. As the Deputy knows, a great deal of work has been done in this area down the years and I hope the commission will be in a position to report within a reasonable timeframe.
