I must accept the Minister's reply, but I am not very happy with it. Any organisation will tell us about the number of children who avail of this and if a breakfast club or other such facility was not provided by organisations such as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul children would go to school hungry. Children go to bed cold. Between now and next year I ask the Minister to consider a two-tier payment to target the most vulnerable children.
