I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 to 37, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet committee on children and education will oversee the implementation of programme for Government commitments in the areas of children and education with a special focus on child poverty and well-being. It will receive detailed reports on identified policy areas, such as child poverty, well-being and education. A separate Cabinet committee on disability has been established. The membership of the Cabinet committee on children and education comprises: the Taoiseach; the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence; the Minister for Finance; the Minister for public expenditure; the Minister for children; the Minister for Health; the Minister for Social Protection; the Minister for Education; and the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It will meet quarterly and the first meeting of the Cabinet committee on children and education of the new Government will take place soon.
