To return to the Bill, I congratulate the Minister on the increases granted to child benefit recipients. An increase of €8 each for the first and second child, together with an increase of €10 each for third and fourth children, is very significant. It is of great practical help in rearing children. This brings the benefit for four children to €565 a month, a generous allowance by any standards. The fact that it is paid directly to the mother in most cases is of major benefit. I urge the Minister to maintain her excellent record in this regard in the future. I realise that we cannot indefinitely give increases of this magnitude. Having reached the required level to deal with the practical difficulties of expensive child care, it should be possible to maintain payments at the required level.
