I share the Deputy's concern about child poverty. Nobody believes that any child deserves to grow up in poverty or disadvantage. While the Deputy has not acknowledged it, I know that if he had more time he would acknowledge that child poverty and poverty rates have been falling in Ireland for the past two years as a consequence of decisions made by Government.
