I will be very brief. Under the heading dealing with supports for children, there is an indication that €123 million was saved as a result of the changes to the one-parent family payment. The amended provision for after-school child care, school meals and so on adds up to €18.5 million. Will we see an increase in the proportion of that €123 million going to some of these projects?

We have dealt with the issue of rent allowance. While the increases in the thresholds are welcome, they are still not high enough in a context where rents in this city and elsewhere continue to rise. Is the recent change reflected in the Revised Estimate?
