I introduced it to bring a bit of flexibility into the situation. We are talking about people who were in receipt of social welfare immediately before going onto a scheme. Sometimes it can take a bit of an arrangement to get onto a scheme. It might take a week or two after the social welfare payment ceases. I am sure the section, as drafted, probably encapsulates the situation but I tabled the amendment in order to provide clarification. Could the Minister of State please provide clarification?
