May I pose a scenario to the Minister of State? We know that households are under stress with debt. There may be a situation where otherwise a gift of, say, €225,000 is made from a parent to a son or daughter to reduce liabilities owed to a bank in a negative equity situation where the debt to the bank was €425,000. Is €225,000 the exemption level?
