All strategies should be considered as to how they affect children, no matter what Department they come from. That is often tagged on at the end but if it is a priority then there is a really good start to the strategy. The Minister's plans five or six years ago gave a commitment to great increases in child benefit and there have been great increases, though there could be more. He made a commitment to bring child benefit to €31.60 per month and €38.10 per month at the higher end. Those were very good increases but if they were part of the expectations of poorer families it would be a good idea for them to get those increases now. Child dependency allowances should also be increased to a weekly rate of €25 per child.
