I move amendment No. 12:

In page 8, line 3, to delete “€1,112” and substitute “€1,212”.

The amendment is required to correct a typographical error in the 2009 legislation, as published. The Minister of the day was Ms Hanafin and the transcript of the Dáil was checked. The amount was €1,202 and there is a typographical error in the Social Welfare and Pension Act (No. 2) 2009, which indicated the figure to be €1,102. I reassure the committee that at all stages the Department operated on the basis of the higher figure of €1,202. The purpose of the amendment is purely to correct that typographical error.
