Yes. There is some saving in terms of the pension that would have been payable. Jobseeker's allowance is paid, so there is possibly only a saving of a couple of hundred thousand euro for the State. Is there a financial benefit to the State? I am not sure whether Mr. Gaynor has any thoughts on the matter.
