- Anti-Poverty Strategy. (31 Oct 2007)
Olwyn Enright: I am sure it will be a great relief to the 111,129 children in poverty to know that they are not really in poverty at all but that the data merely changed.

- Anti-Poverty Strategy. (31 Oct 2007)
Olwyn Enright: It is a question. Good policies are in place and I am not critical of them. What I want the Minister to accept is that there is a gap between what is decided as policy and what will happen on the ground. In light of that, can I return to the priority question and ask the Minister again whether there is a mechanism within the policy format that has been put forward to evaluate it as it is...
