============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

We are keeping it under review and will make those decisions and continue to keep it under review. However, I am glad the Deputy has also referenced the issue of child poverty today. Child poverty is a really important issue, and we need to do more, but let us look at our record versus Sinn Féin's. In the last budget we extended child benefit, benefiting 60,000 more children. Sinn Féin did not wish to benefit one extra.
