The Deputy cites Poland as an example, but our child benefit payment which went up in the recent budget and which anyone who looks at the impact of a budget will agree is extremely progressive is €135 per month. Is the Deputy seriously suggesting we move to the Polish system of child benefit, under which the payment is well below €30 or €40 per month?
