If the Deputy wants me to, I am happy to respond on the individual issue outside the committee. My understanding and advice is that this is either a matter for the Minister for Finance, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform or the Minister for Social Protection. It would be part of a general process of legislative change with respect to those issues as opposed to being dealt with in the Marriage Bill.
