Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 11:

In page 10, before section 18, to insert the following new section:

"18.—The Minister shall, as soon as may be after the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas a report setting out revised targets for the full implementation of the National Anti-Poverty Strategy.".

This amendment refers to the targets for the full implementation of the national anti-poverty strategy. In Sustaining Progress it was promised that child poverty would be eliminated by 2007. We are tabling this amendment to find out if the targets have been revised and the provisions being made to eliminate poverty.
