Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, People Before Profit Alliance)

Question 3: To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the UNICEF report The Child Left Behind - a table of inequality in child well-being in the world's rich countries, in particular the finding that our child poverty rate was 13.5% with taxes and social transfers taken into account (details supplied); if she will fight the case for child poverty and defend children from direct and indirect social transfer cuts; her plan to tackle child poverty here; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
