Child Poverty
2:00 pm
Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, People Before Profit Alliance)
I agree that job creation is crucial for taking families out of poverty. However, this will take time. I ask for a commitment from the Minister that in this budget the child benefit will be protected and that the Minister will actively oppose any cuts in child benefit until some time in a few years when there is more employment.
