Patrick Costello (GP), Dublin South-Central

The budget provides a real opportunity for meaningful action on child poverty. I attended a meeting last week of the Children's Rights Alliance which is campaigning fiercely on the issue of child poverty. Social protection supports are a key part of that. It is imperative we use the budget to provide targeted payments to end child poverty. Will the Minister commit to serious action on child poverty in the upcoming budget?
